ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) operated using a series of vacuum tubes and was programmed through manual wiring and the configuration of plugboards. It performed calculations by executing a sequence of arithmetic operations, which were specified by physical connections rather than software. Operators would set up the machine for each task by rewiring it according to the desired program, making ENIAC one of the first programmable computers, albeit without modern software. Its design laid the groundwork for future developments in programmable computing.

Did the ENIAC use Microsoft?
No. ENIAC was invented long before Microsoft was founded.

How did computers work without software?
Programmable digital computers have never worked without software (or firmware). Even ENIAC used a form of firmware to work, it had to have programs wired into it by hand from 1945 to 1948, then from 1948 on software was loaded by manually setting hundreds of rotary switches.All modern computers can only do one thing without software: start a preloaded bootstrap program running. The bootstrap program is a piece of software (or firmware) that tells the computer how to set itself up, find the OS software, and start the OS software running. This preloaded bootstrap program is either entered manually by the operator at turnon (very rare anymore) or resides as firmware in a ROM loaded at the factory.

How many days were required for the ENIAC to program the 30 second trajectorty?
Programming the ENIAC to compute a 30-second trajectory required approximately 200 programming hours, which translates to about 6 to 7 days of continuous work. This involved setting up and rewiring its components manually, as ENIAC was not programmed in the modern sense of software coding but rather through physical connections and switches. The effort showcased the complexity of early computing and the labor-intensive nature of programming at that time.
What is first operating system or software?
The first operating system or software is widely considered to be the program ENIAC, which was created in the 1940s by the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering. ENIAC was the first large-scale electronic general-purpose computer and was used to solve complex calculations for the US military. The program used a variety of different software components, including a control program and an arithmetic unit. ENIAC was an important milestone in the development of software and was the first program to be able to manipulate data stored in memory. It was also the first program to introduce the concept of a stored program, which allowed for faster and more efficient computing.
When was the ENIAC first introduced to the public?
The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was first shown to the public on 14th February 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania. Work on building the "Giant Brain" had started in July 1943.
