If life was like a computer

If life was like a computer, it would be like these below:
  • We can add/remove someone in our life by using control panel.
  • We can put our problems at the recycle bin and restore them when we feel ready to deal with them.
  • We can personalize our appearance by adjusting the screen settings.
  • We can turn off the speaker when life becomes too noisy.
  • We can click on "find" (Ctrl+F) to find something that were missing.
  • To get our daily exercises, click on the "run" menu.
  • We can adjust incoming/outgoing activities by using firewall policies.
  • If we mess up our life, we can always press the "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" to solve it.

Microsoft Windows celebrates 25th anniversary

California - It's 25 years since Microsoft first launched Windows 1.0. The most popular OS around the world until this time have undergone many changes. Windows 8 is expected to be out within two years.

When first released, Windows is not an OS that fully operational. Windows when it was more to the graphical user interface (GUI) that operates on top of DOS. Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft launched Windows 1.0 was first launched in 1985 with a price of $99.

Gates said at the time of Windows as a software 'unique' that will provide power for users and is a foundation for the development of hardware and software for the next few years. Similarly, as quoted by Mashable, Monday (11/22/2010).

It appears that the opinion of Gates on Windows that will be the foundation of the future for personal computers (PCs) in 1985 was true. Windows now has been transformed into an OS that dominated the world for two decades.

Even so, the future of OS is also questionable given, while the current is going the process of transition from PC to mobile and tablet devices. But not a few observers who believe if Windows will be able to survive until 25 years into the future.

Microsoft Windows was first released on November 20, 1985.
