VJgamer1405241488 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2005 Thats interesting. I didn't know that. I just got rid of my old Tandy 1000. It had two floppy drives (both 3 1/2) and enough chip memory to hold MS-DOS. I had also recently rid myself of my old IBM that ran WIndows 3.1 with 72 mb of memory. Those are the computers I learned QBasic on. So happy (belated) birthday windows, and keep up the good work Microsoft! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't you rather start up a game and play it immediatley, instead of typing in 2 hours worth of code and stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officer Cartman 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 Happy Birthday Windows, you're now 20 years closer to ruling the world . But yeah that's a pretty cool fact, I never heard that one before. So is that the day it came out? Or when it first began to function? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officer Cartman 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I guess they do . But is that an official date, just out of interest? I mean is that the day they released it or first had it functioning properly. I mean the software to make it must have taken a while so technically it can't really have a birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insanity10117 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2005 Wow, I knew Windows was creating a long time ago in the 80's but 25 years. Such an amazing legacy to think about: non-graphic DOS PC to the excellent OS we have today. Way to go Windows and keep making your OS better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
