Editor's Note: 25 Years of Windows

Windows turns 25 this year, and we'll be celebrating the operating system's big birthday in Redmond and RCP, online and in print. We'd like to get your memories of the first Windows launch, stories about the early days of the OS or even thought on where Windows is going. Send your thoughts to [email protected]. As always, we won't publish anything in the magazines without notifying you first.

Thanks,
Lee
