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

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.
