The Microsoft Windows 1.0 BYTE demo is an early 
         demonstration of Microsoft Windows that was shown in the 
         December 1983 issue of BYTE magazine. The demo itself was 
         produced in September 1983 and was likely shown to 
         members of the press shortly after its compilation. A 
         photograph of a floppy disk containing the demonstration 
         was posted to Twitter by ReflectiaX on 9 March 2022, 
         although he later revealed that the original disk had 
         been demagnetized to the point where data recovery is not 
         possible. Other copies of the disk are supposed to be in 
         circulation.
       
         The interface is very similar to Microsoft's DOS 
         applications such as Multiplan and Word, which were also 
         released or in development at the time, featuring a 
         command bar at the bottom of the screen and overlapping 
         windows (the latter of which was replaced by tiling 
         windows). It remains unclear whether the build and 
         applications demonstrated were actually fully functional 
         or just cleverly crafted to create an illusion of a 
         working system.
