  Activewin's 11th birthday
Time: 08:55 EST/13:55 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Today, on the 25th of June 2009 marks the 11th birthday of Activewin.com.

The Active Network was born on August 25, 1997 when founders Byron Hinson, Robert Stein, and Wayne Flyers opened the ActiveIE.com website for the first time as a small hobby to provide the best information about Microsoft’s newly released Internet Explorer 3. Our gem, ActiveWin.com is the result of the conversion of the original website into roughly what you see today and was born on June 25, 1998. With the goal of providing the latest Microsoft company news, information, downloads, reviews, drivers, tips, support, software/hardware news, FAQs and much more this site was able to attract loyal viewers which ensure the prosperity and growth of this network.

HBB!!

My only wish is that your' articles wouldn't expire. If i get busy enough or go on vacation long enough I can't catch up on my reading. plus I'd love to go back and search for old stuff from time to time.

How can wanting more of what you already have be a bad thing?

Glad to see you guys sticking with it. I was hanging around in #ie3 of EFNet back in the day around when you guys started this and I remember seeing you there. Your choices of stories to report still hits the nail on the head for my interests. Keep up the good work and Congrats.

I stopped posting comments back when anonymous commenting was disabled, but this news post forced me to register. :)

Happy Birthday!

While your celebrating can you add an Autologin option :) If I lose another post due to being timed out I may shoot someone and my coworkers wouldn't be happy about that.

I remember reading ActiveWin back in the 90s and lots of interviews of Microsoft product managers. Back then, they had so many at launch reviews because MS had so many desktop products. Glad you got a nice XP favicon at 11 years!!

And so my prediction held true - observe:

http://www.activewin.com/awin/comments.asp?HeadlineIndex=44131&Group=1

btw - it looks like you guys have been averaging a little over 9 posts per day for the last year...


#18 By 28801 (65.90.202.10) at 6/26/2009 8:14:56 AM
#17: That prediction was like saying Latch would criticize Microsoft, or that Parker would average over 2 links per post.

#19 By 415 (167.6.247.203) at 6/26/2009 8:44:17 AM
Most days this is the only news site that I visit, and I've been doing this since '98.

Happy Birthday ActiveWin!!!

BTW - I'm user # 415. How many users are you up to now?

#18: I resent that remark. I never criticize Microsoft (damn you, Microsoft!). What?

Happy Birthday!

P.S. Netscape still sucks!
