REDMOND WA – April 6 – Microsoft announced the release of Version 3.1 of the Windows Operating System. It was the first version of Windows to be DOS-mouse compatible and to feature drag and drop capability.
These two user-friendly features, along with the introduction of True Type fonts, made windows a viable platform for desktop publishing on DOS-based personal computers. This contributed significantly to the explosive growth of Windows as the operating system of choice for PCs.
