On this day in 1997, but 9 years ago in a small town called Troy, Michigan an equally small company named Ilium Software opened its doors. Ilium, meaning 'Troy' in Ancient Greek started with a message: Simple Software for a Simpler Life.

With this simple concept, Ilium has steered a course through the best, and worse of Windows CE and Windows Mobile, and now all these years later stands as one of the largest, most revered and best loved of all the Windows CE development houses.

To celebrate this landmark occasion, for one day only Ilium are offering Pocket PC and Windows Mobile users the opportunity to purchase their flagship produce line at a reduce price, however for Handheld PC users, Ilium's not forgotten fondness for the community can be found in their exclusive, free download sets.
