OK, we simply can’t fail to comment – as have most of you, judging by the size of our postbag – about Steve Ballmer advertising Windows in a US TV ad in ‘the late 1970s’.
‘My memory is that Windows 1.0 was released late in 1985,’ says Alan Brindley, among many others. Those cheeky Microsoft boys.
‘I still have a copy of Windows version 1.03 (and no, I don’t still use it), which I bought when it first came out,’ says Kenneth Spencer. They are naughty scamps indeed.
Windows has been with us for only 20 years. It just feels longer.
