When you get to a certain age, birthdays stop being as meaningful as they were when you're younger, but in the case of a certain Microsoft operating system, this one is very special. That's because on 29 July 2015, Windows 10 was released to the public, and I'm happy to celebrate its tenth anniversary. I'm also a little sad because it's the last birthday it will get to enjoy.
Yes, that's right—Windows 10 is 10 years old. Has a nice feel to it, right? It's certainly more impressive than Windows 7 and 8, which lasted a mere six years apiece (not including their extended support periods). Windows Vista barely made it to three, I think, and although Windows 11 has passed that low bar, I suspect it's going to struggle to get anywhere near Windows 10.
