Windows 1.0 Development Release 1

Windows 1.0 Development Release #1 was the first release in a series of Development Releases of Windows 1.0, which were distributed to application developers throughout 1984.

The first of these was probably compiled sometime in 1984-05, possibly on 1984-05-29 if the date in DR5's  is indeed a leftover from this build. An article in the 1984-05-07 issue of InfoWorld magazine claims the first version for developers would be released towards the end of 1984-05, further supporting the theory that the Development Release stage started around 1984-05.

Another article in the 1984-11-19 issue of InfoWorld claims developers have been recieving monthly releases since May, providing further evidence that the DR phase began in 1984-05.
