The bootscreen on Windows 1.0 shows a 1985 date.

As does the "about" screen.

Now that you point it out, you can see that is what is likely displayed on the screen in the one picture. Now that someone has found the tag in the jpg file pointing to the pictures being released in '85 with Windows 1.x, you've got it nailed.

Yes it's from 1985, the Caption for the photos reads:

First one:
Corbis. All Rights Reserved. Deborah Feingold/CORBIS. Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue Washington, USA

Second One:
Corbis. All Rights Reserved. Deborah Feingold/CORBIS. Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft throws a Windows 1.0 floppy disk in his office soon after the product's release. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA

Also some funny keywords associated... eyecontact, full length portrait, pants, etc.
