Yep \u2013 Believe it or not Windows 10 was released (general availability) on  June 29, 2015, four years one month ago.   You can say it is now a pretty mature operating system!    Since its release there has been 8 different version releases  (feature updates) and well over 130 different monthly cumulative patches (quality updates) across all versions.        <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

39 Years ago Microsoft release Windows 1.0 <\/strong>  –  Bill Gates said at the time:<\/p>\n

On November 20, 1985, two years after the initial announcement, Microsoft ships Windows 1.0. Now, rather than typing MS\u2011DOS commands, you just move a mouse to point and click your way through screens, or \u201cwindows.  It is unique software designed for the serious PC user.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
