Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chortle dept.

Class Act Dynamo writes "I was browsing for a video clip I saw the other day, and I came across this clip from 15 years ago of Steve Ballmer pitching windows 1.0 in a television commercial. All I can say is WOW. Apparently, there was a big demand for integrating "LOTUS 1-2-3 with Miami Vice." You'll understand when you see the clip." Let it not be said that Microsoft has no sense of humor.

    That's not a real commercial. It was put together for a company meeting in the last five years.

      Oops. I see somebody already made that connection - the governmentgrants.com guy. At least it keeps me from being the only one seeing that. And that's worth at least a horse turd or two, right?

    God knows how long that has been on Ebaums. I first saw it months ago. Since everybody's too fucking busy browsing Slashdot, they miss all the good shit at the other corners of the web. I'm not even going to tell you guys to get out more. Just go to different web sites for fuck's sake.
