Happy Bithday Windows 25 april 1985

that's right windows made yesterday 25 years old.its starts in 1981 the first version of windows , but in 1985 , 55 programmers finnaly finished the first graphics version of windows.ms-dos no longer was used

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!

It Sucks that Dos is No longer there, you could do EVERYTHING in DOS even make games, Oh well, I'm not really all too sad about that DOS...

'Xcuse, but if windows was created in 1985, it would 20 years old...Caught that mistake cos I was born in that year. =_=. Sorry for being finicky.

Congrats Microsoft, what are you gonna dominate next? Microsoft is pretty cool though, can't wait until Longhorn.And, why do you like DOS? Wouldn't you rather start up a game and play it immediatley, instead of typing in 2 hours worth of code and stuff?

yep you right chiiyo my mistake ;P (damn keypad) lol

hahaha April 23rd 1985 ?? I didn't know about this so it's about one week "younger" than me

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?

That is actually really interesting. I didn't know people actually celebrated its birthday.

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.

Congratulations!!! Is time to rest in place...

Well i hope there operating systems get better. Wish linxos would get it together and make there stuff more compatible with everything out there.

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.
