Mars was a Windows component that powered the so-called Activity Centres - an experimental, task-centred UI tested in early builds of Windows ME (2000) & Codename Neptune (cancelled). Whilst the Activity Centres were scrapped, Mars lived on to power ME’s Help & Support app. ;-) #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsMillenniumEdition #WindowsME #WindowsCodenameNaptune #WindowsNeptune #ActivityCenters #ActivityCentres

MS-DOS ("MicroSoft Disk Operating System") was a command-line OS from Microsoft. The initial releases of Microsoft's newer, graphical OS - Windows - required MS-DOS to run. Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME, pronounced "Me") (2000) was the last Windows version requiring DOS. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsMillenniumEdition #WindowsME #MSDOS

Following the release of Windows Millennium Edition (or Windows Me - pronounced “Me”) on 19th June 2000, Microsoft launched a promo campaign called the Meet Me Tour. People visiting malls across 25 US cities could test ME’s new video, photo, music & networking capabilities. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsMillenniumEdition #WindowsMe
