On November 20th, 2010, Windows will officially turn 25 years old. However, like us I bet you cannot remember it even being launched. This is mainly down to the fact that at that time in 1985, Apple and DOS were Kings.
Windows version 1.0 was Microsoft's graphical rival to Apple's IBM graphical front end and was used as the front end to its own DOS system.
How far we have come and advanced since - considering now that Windows is basically the be all and end all system for PCs, with over 90% of the desktop market. With Windows XP being the most used version at the moment and Windows 7 selling over 240 million licences in little more than 1 year.
