  Happy Birthday Windows!

  21 Nov 2005

  Windows turned 20 years old yesterday (Nov 20) and I thought I’d mention it belatedly just to celebrate 2 decades of BSODs and bug fixes. DownloadSquad has an interesting piece on Windows’ 20th that features some trivia about the world’s biggest operating system that you may probably not be aware of.

  The retail price for Windows 1.0 was $100. Adjusted for inflation, that’s equivalent to $177 in today’s dollars — roughly the same price you’d pay today for a full retail edition of Windows XP Home.

  Windows 1.0 was out for only about two weeks before Microsoft released version 1.01, in order to fix several bugs.

  LOL.
