Microspotting: Inside the Microsoft Archives
jones_supa writes to point out a video tour in which long-time company archivist Amy Stevenson takes us behind the scenes of the Microsoft Archives, a collection of artifacts that preserve the company's history and culture. "There, you'll find decades worth of Microsoft software, advertisements, documentation, memorabilia and...skulls? You'll just have to watch to understand. Some of the scariest items include a life-like Bill Gates doll (wearing a jogging suit), sent by a Russian doll artist, and a human-sized Clippy costume."
The video exhaustively presents all successful HP Superdome Windows deployments.
. . . when they sat in the bubble-wrapped chairs and the interviewer asked about the chairs' significance, I seriously assumed the archivist was gonna say one of them was the one that Ballmer threw whilst ranting about Google.
I expected to see a sled at some point.
It looks like you're trying to move. Would you like help with that?
o Get me out of this suit!
o Just let me have some limb movement...
[] Don't show me this tip again.
If you gave me a choice between a printer and a giraffe with explosive diarrhoea, i'll get my ladder and my raincoat
Just... ew.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Its sickening how sycophantic Slashdot is to Microsoft now.
Dice should just come out, drop the pretence that its FOSS-friendly, and admit it's been bought and paid for by Microsoft, Apple. Oracle etc.
