Not to forget GEOS on Commodore 64, years before Windows.
Actually it was not "years before Windows". Windows 1.0 was released in
1985, while GEOS for Commodore 64 in 1986. If we are talking about early
"window managers" I think it is desirable to also mention early text mode
window managers like PathMinder which was released before Windows, in
1984.
