Elliot B. Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Mad really, I was only 15 years old at the time and was still in secondary school. Five years, longest gap between two Microsoft OSs I believe.

leesmithg Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 5 years ago to this day Microsoft released Windows XP. :) So what has changed in the windows world since then? Nothing, XP is still MS's latest OS. Interesting as I purchased a computer with xp home installed on it in September 2001 so me thinks it's older. Maybe the 25th October 2001 is the retail store release date.

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I thought it was nice for new yorkers to still have the launch even after the tragic events a month earler. wonder where vista will be held and if they are gonna do another windows 95 theme ( with a song and crazy people ) anyway happy birthday XP ! :D Interesting as I purchased a computer with xp home installed on it in September 2001 so me thinks it's older. Maybe the 25th October 2001 is the retail store release date. I remember I was in best buy around that time. over half the other PCs had Windows ME, but there was this one that had XP and at first i didnt knoiw what it was, with the luna UI and everything then i red the card and it said Windows XP home edition preinstalled. So the OEM might have gotten it out sonner. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/506445-happy-birthday-windows-xp/#findComment-587986334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
