On 20th Anniversary Of Windows XP, Elon Musk Trolled Microsoft Real Hard
What is surprising is that this came on the very day Windows XP was first introduced to the world, 20 years ago, on October 25, 2001.
Another day, another troll tweet by the tech billionaire Elon Musk, however, this time, it was aimed at the software company Microsoft.

Windows XP
For me, it was the first-ever Windows OS I ever used, which would be the case for most readers today. From its harmonic startup and shutdown sounds to the soundtrack to Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 that would be the go-to music file for testing speakers on a new, freshly set-up PC, it would surely make us feel nostalgic.

Windows XP was a success from boot with 17 million copies getting sold in just two weeks of launch with over 400 million copies sold in the first five years of its launch.
