Earlier today, while I was testing out a website that I was working on, I opened up Microsoft Edge to see how the site would look on the browser. When I launched Microsoft Edge, I was greeted by a bright and colorful page celebrating Microsoft’s 50th anniversary.

For those who are not familiar, Microsoft was founded on April 4, 1975, in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

In 1975, childhood friends Bill Gates and Paul Allen dared to dream bigger than what reality dictated at the time—giving people everywhere a whole new way to live, work, and play. And while times have changed, and technology has changed, our dream remains the same: empowering every person on the planet to achieve more. To celebrate these last 50 years, we’re looking back at some iconic moments from our history, sharing some stories, and celebrating all the amazing things you’ve done with Microsoft tech. Because change needs makers!

I’m going to share with you some of the iconic moments that was displayed/shared on the page:
