Throwback to 1986 with Steve Ballmer hyping up Windows 1.0 like it’s the future.

Little did they know… the real future was open source. 🐧💻

Nebraska always getting the short end of the stick. I mean, it's not like it isn't deserved. :KEKW:

Pure Comedy Gold. I kick $75 to debian.org every time I install a new version.

I never got the hype about Windows when it came out. It felt cumbersome, sluggish and just a resource hog preventing me from allocating more memory to the programs I actually wanted to use.

Indeed, the real hype for me happened in 1996, when I got my hands on a set of Slackware Linux installation floppies. That was love at first sight.

now i know where Doug DeMuro got his presentation style from.

wow! Early beginnings of an apparently for ever unpleasant Steve Ballmer. Did people really buy stuff because some maniac yelled at them and told them to do so?

I've always said that MS, at least since Balmer, is more of a cult than an operating system!
