Something tells me you're not going to say "original is best" for this one...
-
Even by 1985 standards, Windows 1.0 was clunky and garish. It lacked finesse, and Microsoft had ripped out overlapping windows before launch, leaving a weird tiling system that made multitasking awkward on tiny displays. The result felt like a value-range OS, which was kind of the point: $99 got you a graphical display for the masses, with modest system requirements. And if you were a journalist, Microsoft even sent you a free squeegee to get you excited.
