Windows turns 40 as the most influential software product in history

Microsoft Windows celebrated its 40th anniversary on November 20, 2025. The journey began with the launch of Windows 1.0 in 1985, designed as a graphical layer atop MS-DOS, requiring a graphics card and 256KB of RAM. Subsequent releases included Windows 2.0 in 1987, Windows 3.0 and 3.1 in 1990 and 1992, respectively, which introduced significant features like a 3D-styled interface and popular games. Windows 95, launched in the mid-1990s, introduced the Start menu and taskbar, selling over seven million copies shortly after its release. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw the introduction of Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP in 2001, which was noted for its stability. Windows Vista was released in 2007, followed by Windows 7 in 2009, and Windows 8, which faced user backlash. Windows 10 was launched in 2015, adopting a Windows-as-a-Service model, and Windows 11 continues to evolve with new design and hardware requirements.

Battlefield 6 live launch coverage: All the news, updates, and reactions as the most-anticipated FPS of the year goes live

Battlefield 6 is set to launch globally with confirmed release times: West Coast US at 8 am PDT, East Coast US at 11 am EDT, UK at 4 pm BST, Europe at 5 pm CEST, Australia at 2 am AEDT (October 11), and New Zealand at 4 am NZST (October 11). Players are advised to complete a readiness checklist before launch, including ensuring game pre-load is complete and system requirements are reviewed. EA has implemented a queue system to manage potential login issues at launch, similar to the beta phase. Early impressions of the game suggest strong multiplayer gameplay but a lackluster campaign. Performance analysis indicates Battlefield 6 is well-optimized. Some players are experiencing errors with the EA App that prevent access to the game, and EA is working on a resolution. The DRS-IAR LMG is highlighted as a versatile weapon for the Support class.

This new mini SSD for gaming handhelds looks so much better than a microSD card

Chinese manufacturer Biwin has introduced a mini SSD that may replace traditional microSD cards in handheld PCs. The mini SSD is slightly larger than a standard SD card and offers storage capacities from 512GB to 2TB. It will first be supported by OneXPlayer handhelds, adhering to PCIe 4.0 and NVMe 1.4 standards, with read and write speeds of up to 3,718MB/s and 3,415MB/s, respectively. This performance exceeds that of microSD Express cards and typical microSD cards, which max out at 950MB/s and 240MB/s, respectively. The mini SSD measures 0.59 x 0.66 x 0.05 inches (15 x 17 x 1.4mm), making it more portable than M.2 2230 drives. Biwin plans to bundle the mini SSD with select OneXPlayer devices, pricing the 512GB model at approximately 399 CNY and the 1TB model at around 599 CNY, while the 2TB pricing is unconfirmed. The success of the mini SSD will depend on broader adoption by manufacturers beyond niche handhelds.
