Isn’t it amazing? 25 years ago (1983) on this very day, Microsoft Announced Windows 1.0. What an amazing advance in both software, hardware and technology as a whole in just a quarter of a century. It wasn’t yet available for sale (not until 1985), but as you can see -not many things change. We’re still waiting for Windows 7 .

What’s even more amazing is the amount of accumulated wealth for Bill Gates (and anyone who was smart to invest into this “new thing” 25 years ago).

Windows, here’s to you and to 25 more. Hopefully, Windows 7.0 comes out glorious next year, and Windows 14 on your 50th birthday .
