Windows is 25
« on: November 29, 2010, 06:47:06 PM »
25th anniversary of the Win 1.0 release, if you can believe it!

"Microsoft Windows at 25: Still dominant after all these years.
     Most of you are running Windows, some the current Windows 7, but more Windows XP, originally released in 2002. But Microsoft Windows goes back farther than that. The first version was released 25 years ago this November."

...and the rest of the story.  http://www.zisman.ca/Articles/2010/biv1101.html  
  For most people the sky is the limit.  For a pilot the sky is home.

It's NOT a bug, it's a feature!

"I can run circles around you with my DOS applications."    :old:

That was true for a long time, but not so much now.
