October 25th

Today is the birthday of a Windows operating system people actually like. Windows XP, as seen in at least a half of a billion computers all over the world, is considered one of Microsoft's best operating systems it's ever made and today it's now 21, thus old enough to drink in the United States. This is Halloween, and few things are scarier than the passage of time.


I think the reason people liked XP so much is because it was simple and did what it was supposed to. It was the edition of windows that introduced the "Bliss" hill default wallpaper to the world, and I feel like the fact that anyone I know, up to a certain age, probably 15, could definitely identify bliss as a computer background at a glance shows the true scope of XPs popularity. It was the computer of the 2000s. It was the best Windows ever until Windows 7, and then Windows 8 happened and people learned not to trust Microsoft again.
