Know Your Operating System Install Date

[topgear]

Here is a simple script that will tell you your OS install date & Time

Open Notepad. Just copy and paste the below mentioned codes into that notepad

file and save it with .vbs extension ( eg. OSINSTALLDATE.vbs ). Double

click that file & it will show your OS install date & time. Have Fun.

I was j/k. don't take that too seriously. I know it won't work with other OS'es.

All those who are being shown the wrong date of 2005, are you a victim of rampant piracy in India?
