Haddii aad taageere u ahayd guud ahaan Microsoft , waxa ay u badan tahay in aad taqaan agabka Microsoft . Xaaladdaas, waxaad u badan tahay inaad sidoo kale tirin karto waxyaabaha ugu fiican ee qalabka Microsoft . Kuwa ugu caansan iyo kuwa ay saxaafaddu ammaantay waxaa ka mid ahaa Intellimouse iyo kiiboodhka ergonomic ee kala duwan iyo Xbox . Laakiin waxaa jiray qalab badan oo kale oo ka yimid software-ka weyn oo u qalmay sacab laakiin ma helin, maadaama warbaahinta guud aysan tixgelin in qalabkaas soo jiidasho leh.

Taariikhda Alaabta Hardware Microsoft

Mid ka mid ah qalabka sida yar daboolan waa Microsoft Kinect kaas oo sidoo kale leh gelitaanka Buuga Guinness^{(Guinness Book)} si uu u noqdo qalabka ugu dhaqsaha badan ee la iibiyo. Wax badan kama aqaano Xbox iyo Kinect laakiin qof kasta oo xiiseeya ciyaaraha khadka tooska ah wuu garanayaa Kinect iyo Xbox oo la isku daray waxay siin karaan khibrad ciyaar oo aan nooc kale oo ay ku jirto Apple - bixin karin. Waxa kale oo jiray qaybo ka mid ah qalabyada gudaha - kaadhadhka codka iyo kaadhadhka garaafyada si loo horumariyo khibradaha ciyaaraha ee PC laakiin kama aanay bixin malaha xiisaha dadka iyo sidoo kale sababtoo ah Microsoft si adag uguma riixin suuqa sidii ay ku samaysay Surface ..

Kuwa soo socdaa waxay daboolayaan qaar ka mid ah alaabada qalabka ugu fiican ee Microsoft . Waxaan isku dayay inaan ilaaliyo waqtiga - taasoo macnaheedu yahay sannadihii la sii daayay. Haddii aad hesho wax ka duwan, ii soo sheeg.

1980: Microsoft Softcard  & RamCard

Kaarka jilicsan, sida muuqata, wuxuu ahaa firmware u oggolaanaya CP/M inuu ku shaqeeyo kombuyuutarrada Apple .

Si loo sii wanaajiyo waxqabadka CP/M , Microsoft waxay la timid Ramcard , sidoo kale, 1980. RamCard  waxa kale oo loo isticmaalay w/o Softcard si loo horumariyo shaqada Apple.

1982: Jiirka Indhaha Buluugga ah - Marka hore waxaa ka yimid Microsoft^{(Blue-Eyed Mouse – First From Microsoft)}

Tan waxaa lagu heli karaa Microsoft Word - Interface-ga garaafka mid^{(Graphical Interface one)} . Waxaan si badbaado leh u dhihi karnaa in Microsoft ay soo bandhigtay jiirkan si isticmaalayaashu ay si fudud ugu isticmaali karaan barnaamijyadeeda cusub ee GUI. Taas ka hor, waxaa jiray mouse oo lahaa hal fure oo kaliya oo la riixo. Jiirku wuxuu ku daray taageerada menu-yada macnaha guud. Waxay la timid floppy ay ku jiraan darawalka jiirka iyo buug-gacmeed (oo lagu muujiyay cagaar) oo sharxaya sida loo isticmaalo jiirka.

Microsoft Trackball 1.0: Carruurta loogu talagalay?!

Tan sidoo kale waxa la sii daayay isla wakhtigaas la sii daayay jiirka indhaha buluuga ah laakiin asal ahaan waxa loogu talagalay carruurta. In kasta oo aan si gaar ah loo xusin, carruurtu waxay ahaayeen bartilmaameedka maaddaama kubbaddu ay ahayd mid weyn oo ku filan inay ku habboonaato gacmahooda yaryar. Kani waxa uu ahaa cursor navigation qalab kaas oo sidoo kale u adeegay sidii goob ciyaareed

1983: Kaarka Nidaamka Microsoft^{(Microsoft SystemCard)} si kor loogu qaado waxqabadka IBM^{(IBM Performance)}

Kan sare waa xayaysiis ay soo saartay Microsoft . Ma heli karo sawirka kaarka nidaamka^{(System Card)} dhabta ah ee internetka^(Internet) . Laga yaaba, haddii aad si fiican u baadho Gizmodo , waxa laga yaabaa in meel lagu qariyo. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kaarkaan waxaa loogu talagalay in lagu badbaadiyo boosaska kala duwan ee laga heli karo IBM maalmahaas. Shaqada ugu weyn ee kaadhku waxay ahayd in lagu kordhiyo RAM 64KB halka sidoo kale loo ogolaanayo daabacaadda daabacaadda iyo qaar ka mid ah hawlaha kale ee u baahan kara chips kala duwan haddii kale.

1988: Microsoft Mach 20 - Daaqadaha^{(– Enhanced Windows)} la xoojiyey ee kombuyuutarrada hore^(Early)

Markii hore waxaa jiray Microsoft Mach , kaas oo loo keenay sida ku-darka Mashiinnada IBM^{(IBM Machines)} ee ku shaqeeya Windows 1.0 maaddaama mashiinnada caadiga ah aysan awoodin inay si habsami leh u maamulaan software-ka. Ilaa IBM ay la timid mashiino ka wanagsan Windows GUI , Mach iyo Mach 20 ayaa lagu daray Motherboard-ka si kor loogu qaado khibrada Windows ee PC-yada.^(Windows)

Tan sare waa xayeysiis lagu sii daayay Infoline , joornaal la xidhiidha qalabka elektiroonigga ah.

1994: Microsoft Dabiiciga ah^(Natural) : Kiiboodhka Ergonomic^{(Ergonomic Keyboard)}

Waxaa la gaaray waqtigii cilmigu u jeestay dhibaatooyinka suurtagalka ah ee ka dhalan kara isticmaalka kombuyuutarrada muddada dheer. Dhibaatooyinka faraha badan ee ku taxan isticmaalka kombuyuutarka muddada dheer waxa ka mid ahaa cumacu oo cadaadisay oo wax u dhimay la-goysyada calaacalaha iyo gacmaha (ma xasuusan karo ereyga saxda ah laakiin waxay ahayd nooc tunnel ah).

Si looga hortago oo loo fududeeyo sheegashooyinka, Microsoft waxay ka shaqeysay ergonomics waxayna la timid kiiboorro dabiici ah oo kala duwan. Qaar badan oo ka mid ah kiiboodhkan iyo jiirarka ayaa horeyba loogu daboolay Naadiga Daaqadaha^{(Windows Club)} sidaa darteed ma eegi doono mid walba marka laga reebo kan ugu horreeya halkan:

Sida aad arki karto, kiiboodhka waxa uu leeyahay kala qaybsanaan si uu u fududeeyo booska labada calaacasha si loo yareeyo "tunnel" ee curcurada. Intaa waxaa dheer, furayaasha sare waa la sarraysiiyay, ie, in yar oo ka joog dheer si ay u fududaato in wax lagu qoro.

Kan ugu yar^(Least) ee la xayaysiiyo, laakiin ugu Wanaagsan Hardware^{(Best Hardware)} ee Microsoft : Xbox + Kinect

Sidii hore loo sheegay, Kinect - ka waxaa wiiqay saxafada guud. Ilaa hadda inta aan ogahay, Kinect waxay u ogolaataa Xbox in laga sii daayo ciyaaraha. Marka la isku daro, labaduba waxay ku siin karaan khibrad ciyaar oo wanaagsan oo leh hawlo kale. Runtii ma aan isticmaalin Xbox - ka sidaa darteed wax badan kama odhan karo. Waxaan haynaa maqaal ku saabsan isticmaalka Kinect ee Xbox^{(using Kinect with Xbox)} at The Windows Club.

Marka laga reebo jiirka iyo kiiboodhka sida aaladaha wax gelinta, Microsoft waxa ay sidoo kale sii daysay dhowr kubbado-raac, joysticks iyo xitaa mouse-ka kubbadda cagta ee isticmaalka joogtada ah iyo ciyaaraha.

Waxaan kaga tagayaa Taariikhda Alaabta^(History) Hardware Microsoft tan. ^{(Microsoft Hardware)}Fadlan ogow in kani aanu ahayn liis dhamaystiran, balse waxa uu ka kooban yahay kaliya waxa aan dareemayo in ay ugu wanagsanayen Microsoft^(Microsoft) isku daygeeda wax soo saarka qalabka. Haddii aad dareento in aan xiisay wax muhiim ah, fadlan xor u noqo inaad ku darto liiska.

Microsoft Hardware Products History and Unsung Hardware

If you have been a fan of Microsoft as a whole, you probably know the hardware products of Microsoft. In that case, you prоbably can also coυnt the best of Microsoft hardware products. Among thе most popular and the ones praised by the рress were Intellimouse and the different ergonomic keyboards plus Xbox. But there have been many more hardware products from the software giant that deservеd applause but did not get it, as the mainstream media did not considеr that hardware appealing.

Microsoft Hardware Products History

One such lesser covered hardware is the Microsoft Kinect which also has an entry in the Guinness Book for being the fastest sold hardware. I don’t know much about Xbox and Kinect but anyone with a passion for online gaming knows Kinect and Xbox combined can give a gaming experience that no other brand – including Apple – can provide. There were some internal hardware pieces too – sound cards and graphics cards to improve gaming experiences on PC but they did not take off probably due to people’s lack of interest and also because Microsoft did not push them hard enough into the market as it did with Surface.

The following covers some of the best hardware products from Microsoft. I have tried to maintain the timeline – meaning the years when they were released. If you find anything in contrast, do let me know.

1980: The Microsoft Softcard & RamCard

The soft card, as evident, was a firmware that allowed CP/M to run on Apple computers.

To further enhance the performance of CP/M, Microsoft came up with Ramcard, too, in 1980. The RamCard was also used w/o Softcard to improve Apple’s functioning.

1982: The Blue-Eyed Mouse – First From Microsoft

This was available with Microsoft Word – the Graphical Interface one. We can safely say that Microsoft introduced this mouse so that users can easily use its new GUI-based programs. Prior to this, there were mouse that had only one key to click. The mouse added support for context menus. It came with a floppy containing mouse driver and a manual (shown in green) that explained how to use the mouse.

Microsoft Trackball 1.0: For Kids?!

This too was released around the same time as the blue-eyed mouse but was basically for kids. Though not specifically mentioned, kids were the target as the ball was just big enough to fit into their tiny hands. This was a cursor navigation device that also served as gaming peripheral

1983: Microsoft SystemCard To Boost IBM Performance

The above is an advert released by Microsoft. I could not find the image of the actual System Card on the Internet. Maybe, if you search Gizmodo thoroughly, it might be hidden somewhere. Anyway, this card intended to save on the different slots available on IBM those days. The main function of the card was to increase RAM by 64KB while also allowing for a print spooler and some other tasks that would require separate chips otherwise.

1988: Microsoft Mach 20 – Enhanced Windows on Early PCs

There was a Microsoft Mach first, that was supplied as an add-on to IBM Machines running Windows 1.0 as the normal machines would not be able to handle the software smoothly. Until IBM came up with better machines to run Windows GUI, Mach and Mach 20 were added to the motherboard to enhance the Windows experience on PCs.

The above is an advert released in Infoline, a magazine related to electronics.

1994: Microsoft Natural: The Ergonomic Keyboard

The time came when science turned towards possible problems that can arise from using computers for a long time. Among the many problems listed out of longer duration computer usage was straining wrists and damaging something towards the joint of palms and hands (can’t recall the exact term but was some kind of tunnel).

To counter and ease the claims, Microsoft worked on ergonomics and came up with a range of natural keyboards. Many of these keyboards and mice are already covered on The Windows Club so we won’t look at each one except for the first one here:

As you can see, the keyboard has a split to ease the position of both palms thereby reducing the “tunnel” thing at the wrists. Plus, the upper keys were elevated, i.e., at slightly more height for ease of typing.

The Least Advertised, but Best Hardware from Microsoft: Xbox + Kinect

As said earlier, the Kinect is rather undermined by the mainstream press. As far as I know, Kinect allows Xbox to be taken beyond gaming. Combined, both can give you a good gaming experience with some other functions. I have not actually used an Xbox so cannot say much about it. We do have an article on using Kinect with Xbox at The Windows Club.

Besides mouse and keyboard as input devices, Microsoft also released several trackballs, joysticks and even mouse with trackballs for both regular use and for gaming.

I will leave the History of Microsoft Hardware Products at this. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list, but contains only what I feel was the best from Microsoft in its hardware manufacturing attempts. If you feel I missed anything important, please feel free to add them to the list.
