With the improved speed, reliability and usability, computers now started becoming a part of daily life for some workers. New features in Windows 2.0 included support for the new capabilities of the 80386 CPU (in some versions - see Editions), 16-color VGA graphics, and EMS memory support. It was also the last version of Windows that did not require a hard disk. The basic window setup introduced here would last through Windows 3.1. Windows 2.0 allowed application windows to overlap each other, unlike its predecessor Windows 1.0, which could display only tiled windows. Windows 2.0 also introduced more sophisticated keyboard-shortcuts and the terminology of "Minimize" and "Maximize", as opposed to "Iconize" and "Zoom" in Windows 1.0. There were multiple names for this product's family members: Windows/286, Windows 386, and Windows 2.01 and Windows 2.1x. Windows 2.0 is an obsoleted 16-bit Microsoft Windows GUI-based operating environment that was released on December 9, 1987, the successor to Windows 1.0.
