Bill Gates' Doom Video From 1995

Posted by Zonk on from the for-your-downloading-pleasure dept.

Ant writes "ReelSplatter.com has a copy of the video showing Bill Gates, dressed in a black trench coat and carrying a shotgun, within id software's Doom. The downloadable 11 MB 3.25 minute Windows Media Video (WMV) file (Putfile has a streaming copy) was used to introduce Windows 95 and DirectX at the Microsoft Judgement Day event on October 30th, 1995. Note: The DOOM game map is episode 1, map 2."

    Wouldn't a cacodemon be more appropriate for Bill Gates? You know, with all the people calling him Satan and all...

    so BG goes and makes one of his wonderful "predictions" again?

    that PCs (win95, or at least the win32 line implied) are the "gaming platform of the future"?

    I guess the whole XBOX thing just kindof jumped up and bit them a few years later? Kindof like the internet, when win95 was released sans IE? /not suprised
