Back in 1981 Microsoft’s founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen took a photo of them near several personal computers. Fast forward 32 years later, Microsoft’s two co-founders reunite for a classic photo refresh!

The photo was taken this week at Paul Allen’s Living Computer Museum in Seattle, Washington, and was taken during a celebration of computing pioneers at the museum. It is no doubt that these two men were pioneers of computing and this classic photo refresh is actually pretty neat.

It seems that the computers used in the re-creation of the classic photo shot are somewhat similar! As for Gates and Allen, notice how the major differences consist of Allen’s missing beard and tie.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
