A video appears on Microsoft's Twitter and Instagram account where the history of the company is reviewed until it reaches Windows 1.0.

Thanks to the internet it is no longer necessary to develop a time machine or similar stuff. The network is full of retro elements that can transport us to other times. And now it has been Microsoft who has transported us to the 80s. The company has published a small video of Windows 1.0 on its Instagram and Twitter accounts. A video that is giving a lot to talk about.

The company has announced the release of Windows 1.0 and your image has changed. But the craziest of all is that Microsoft's Instagram account has been cleaned. The company has passed the CCleaner and has deleted all the publications on this social network. After this they have published a video that reviews all the Windows logos up to Windows 1.0.

Microsoft says it's re-releasing Windows 1.0

Little is known about this true mystery, Carmen. The truth is that this operating system was released on November 20, 1985. This means that next year the first iteration of Windows turns 35 chestnuts, so the company wants to celebrate.

Some people think that Microsoft's Twitter and Instagram accounts have been hacked. Something unlikely, since to be a hack it would be quite shabby and normal, it would be to put a message that makes it clear. Some even suggest that it has to do with Stragne Things, the Netflix series.

Specifically Forbes points out that the third season of Stranger Things focuses on 1985. The series opens in a couple of days and it would be a kind of 'Easter Egg' or something like that. Maybe it will be part of the promotion of the series or some marketing thing.

All theories are plausible, but the most logical is that Microsoft has great things to prepare for next year. 35 years are not celebrated every day and brands often use this to make 'la prumució'
