Happy birthday Windows

Mitch Milam Profile Picture Mitch Milam

Believe it or not, Microsoft Windows is 25 years old today.  Can you believe that?

It went from an application that ran on top of something called a Disk Operating System ( DOS ) to a full-fledged operating system in it’s own right.

So, who among you have ever seen this screen:

win1.1

Looks like crap, right?  Well it was. Even then.

No overlapping windows ( deal with Apple caused that ), ugly font, and no applications.

But, 25 years later, we have Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, which are actually pretty cool operating systems.
