The very first version of Windows (1.?) I saw was included WITH Aldus
PageMaker and was set up to automatically run windows and start PageMaker.
When the user exited PageMaker, Windows shut down.
As we know now, this is easy to do (start windows running an app), but the
point here is that PageMaker was the product sold - Windows was included as
the run-time environment. I had never seen an advertisement for Windows at
the time I saw PageMaker.
