    According to that very article, the first UNIX shell would appear to be the Thompson shell.

    However, having said that, Bourne is certainly the first that is of any particular note.

    Thanks Cabhan.Yes i'm wrong
    I mislead by the term "First distributed with.."
    Code:
    Bourne shell (sh) -- Written by Steve Bourne, while at Bell Labs. First distributed with Version 7 Unix
    and missed that historic part too

    Thanks for correcting me
