Say Happy Birthday to Microsoft Windows… and I.

It’s a funny coincidence (Fox and I would say otherwise) I was born on the same day Microsoft Windows 1.0 was released to the world. Sharing a birthday with an operating system I take pride in hacking to bits using is special, at least in my mind.

Happy Birthday Microsoft Windows!

    Happy birthday to the both of you, mostly you Rafael since I don’t find the age of OSs as important. : )

    Happy Birthday Rafael (and to Windows)!

    I was born August 13th 1985 (23 yrs old too), which makes me 3 months older than the *both* of you ;)

    Forgot to add:

    I just got back from my first TechNet conference in Tampa, FL at the Marriot Hotel today. They were mostly speaking about the improvements in Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008.

    Interestingly enough, they did not mention it was the birthday of Windows. :-o

    I just realized the connection now!
    November 20, 1985 is also my birthday. And I’m a .NET programmer.
    The stars must have been aligned on that day.
