Back in November 20th of 1985, Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows. Now, 26 years later, Microsoft’s most widely used operating system has shaped the way technology is today. The Skype team has released a short “happy birthday” video celebrating the operating system.

Microsoft tweeted today about Windows’ 26th birthday and mentioned a special group video greeting card from the Skype team: “Yesterday was the 26th anniversary of Windows being released and we received this special video card from @Skype!”

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
