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.

    Alright, this is something kinda feeky, but i can make Windows M.E. boot in 3.1 mode!!
    Boot to dos, edit:sys.ini (or was it system...) change "Explorer.exe." to "Proman.exe" restart your computer, and you have windows ME running program manager instead of explorer!
    That meens there is windows 3.1 code running around in an OS released in 1999, thats just pathedic!
