After the shortcut caught on in IBM's PC lab, it spread to other internal teams and eventually made it onto the original IBM PC from 1981.

It also didn’t help that the IBM PC launched that same year, followed by a tsunami of cheap “IBM Compatible” PC Clones.

同年推出的 IBM PC 也无济于事，随后是廉价的“IBM 兼容”PC 克隆海啸。

So Gates was within his rights when, in November 1983, he revealed that Microsoft planned to develop a new operating system for IBM PCs featuring a graphical interface with windows, icons, and a mouse for point-and-click navigation.

因此，1983 年 11 月，完全在盖茨权力范围内他宣布微软计划为 IBM 个人电脑开发一套新的操作系统，该操作系统采用图形界面，有窗口、图标和可以指向并点击的鼠标。
