Before the launch of Windows 1.0 in 1985, the software project was internally codenamed "Interface Manager". Microsoft's head of marketing at the time, Rowland Hanson, convinced the company to drop the technical-sounding name. He noted that the industry commonly used the phrase "windowing systems" to describe GUI software, and by naming the product simply "Windows," Microsoft could effectively define and own the entire category.
