Watermark Learning was founded in 1992. Besides our founding, a lot was going on that year. Here are some noted firsts and other happenings in April of 1992.

MICROSOFT LAUNCHES WINDOWS 3.1

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.

Other significant events from April 1992 include:

  • April 12 – The Euro Disney Resort officially opens with its theme park Euro Disneyland. The resort and its park’s name were subsequently changed to Disneyland Paris.
  • April 15 – The National Assembly of Vietnam adopts the 1992 Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
