25 Years of Windows

A bit of computer history, the Windows operating system is 25 years old. That is of course assuming that windows 1,2, and 3.0 really counted. The first I really remember using is 3.11 and windows for workgroups which saw Microsoft arriving late in the networked world, just as they were to arrive late to the browser market.

The Register has an interesting summary of the history, and quite a fair reflection on Microsoft's OS:
