Whether it is a game or a program, as long as there are Easter eggs in them, they will often be discovered and disclosed by users shortly after the launch. It is hard to imagine that the secret of an Easter egg can be hidden for nearly 37 years. Recently, when a Windows fan analyzed and disassembled the old system, they found an Easter egg from the 1980s.
Windows fan Lucas Brooks shared his discovery on Twitter earlier that Windows 1.0, which went on the market at the end of 1985, buried an Easter egg that no one has ever made public in the past 37 years. This Easter egg is buried in the data of a bitmap image of a smiling face, and it has been encrypted. When the system was launched, the tools to decrypt the data were not released together. Brooks decrypted the file, and the Easter egg contained a list of Windows developers and a “Congratulations” message.
Among the many developers who participated in Windows 1.0, including the name of Gabe Newell, the founder and chairman of the current game company Valve, who dropped out of Harvard University and joined Microsoft, and participated in the development of the first three generations of Windows, and led the team. Porting the game Doom from DOS to Windows was an important step in the generational change of the system at that time.
Which version of @Windows is the first to include Easter eggs? Windows 3.0? Nope. What if I tell you there is an Easter egg in Windows 1.0 RTM? This is what I have recently discovered: pic.twitter.com/dbfcv4r7jj
