  • a piece of personal comuting history

  • wow windows 1 has a clock! now that is feature packed!

  • @shnizalproductions

    Remember this is when PC's came standard with Intel 80286's, and rarely had more than 1 megabyte of RAM. Windows 1.0 packed in quite a lot, for it's time.

  • Comment removed

  • whocares

  • haha

  • guess they will have to use MAC in Nebraska

  • lol NO

  • A NOTEPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

  • EXCEPT IN NEBRASKA!

  • Mainly because Macs are so popular in NE or that Windows can't reach too much country space in the whole state of NE.

  • This remind me so much to that Drake & Josh Chapter

  • SO WAS OS9 and that kicked its ass

  • Don't hate, masturbate! I remember when we had our first 286 and a 14.4 modem was a speed IMPROVEMENT. Jaded kids... I learned DOS so I could hide my porn from the 'rents. Extra directories in the Ultima6 folder. :P

  • i know some degree of DOS. shame i can't get a actual XT or 5150 yet...but some day, I WILL!

  • Who -1ed me for wanting a bit of computing history? would you -1 a Museum curator's comment?

  • There I +1ed you.

  • Thank you!

    Well, at least Ballmer has quite a bit of pathos.

    ...

    OFFER VOID IN NEBRASKA.

  • oh my gooood!! there's a clock!!! A CLOOOOOCK!!!!! o.O I must have it RIGHT NOW!!!! wait... except in nebraska? fuck...

  • Thats a microwave? With windows? omg

  • LOL

  • huh?

  • I want to get my number changed where the first three digits are 286, I mean comon, that would just be leet

  • That's why I hate him.

  • His kids must get taunted by their classmates everyday. How embarassing! Add to that the monkeyboy berserk Steve Ballmer on stage video and now the Steve Ballmer Egged video! What a a stupid idiot!

  • why isnt it available in nebraska?

  • Hey that is a good price, That is how much vista should be now around $100 and just one version just like the old days

  • hahahhahahahahaaaaaaa too dam funny

  • Oops, I guessed $3.48

  • I have 24 words for you: I was on the train to Hastings when most fearfully unfortunately Bear boarded at Frant and filled the First Class Compartment up with lick.

  • REVERSIII!!!!!!!!!!!! Oooooohhhhhhhhh! xD

    Steve you are mad..

  • 286-DOS XD a cool adress

  • LOL he must have had a heart attack when he saw Vista I guess.

  • Except in Nebraska!

  • Yeah, it's tough here in Nebraska. I had to sell my family into slavery just so Microsoft would agree to send me Vista Home Premium.

  • OMG! A WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG! A NOTEPAD!!!!

  • OMG A COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BATTLETOADS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • REVERSIE FTW!!!!!

  • OMG! PAINT!!!!!

  • Reversi?! I can't believe it Steve!!

  • Im a Mac Fanboy, but In my opinion I think Windows was SLIGHTLY more advanced in the older days. Like Comparing Windows 95 to mac System 7. System 7 had speech, but Windows had internet. Windows 98 had memory protection, Mac OS 8-9 had internet. Memory protection finally came with OS X!

  • this is probably the smartest move bill gates has ever made. ballmer makes bill look like the friggin second coming of christ.

  • I love the ending line as it's just so unexpected to my English ears..

  • wht a faggot

  • And that same guy is now CEO of microsoft? Wow..

  • i wouldnt pay 99 cents

  • OH SNAP! A WORD PAD! TOO BAD THERE WAS NO INTERNET BACK THEN!!

    lmao even if it was the 80s i dont even think I'd be interested in buying that, I'd be buying an Atari and a Apple computer.

  • Damn. Sucks to be Nebraska.

  • HOLY SHIT! Did he just say it came with a clock!!!!?????

  • Wow Reversi!!!

    Wow Steve Ballmer is quite hyper...

  • I ♥ 

  • lol his face at the end

  • wow...just...wow.

  • i would pay $99 to have vista out of my house

  • 

  • wtf - ballmer looks like in crack mixed with speed -

  • I wouldn't pay $99 for that :(

  • You actually probably would have.

    Remember people, this was a wile ago, they didn't have the stuff we have now!

    Plus, Money didn't worth as much as it did now so things were much cheaper compared to now. I noticed alot of problems with the comments related to that in the comments on this video. And what the fuck? were all commercials like this back then or is he just acting like hes on cocaine like he acts now? lol. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y AND Z! .

  • well at the time windows 1/ 2 were around, apple were pretty much the main computer manufacturer. The choices were pretty much pay for a mac/lisa/apple or get a far more basic OS for free. thing was that windows at the time was about equal, range of software and all, to the low-end OSes that were available. the only thing that split windows apart from the freebies is that it had a gui that copied the mac's., albeit windows was about as arcane as the freecmd-line systems it was competing with.

  • Pretty cool. Unfortunately he isn't that sophisticated anymore. I can't imagine such an ad on television lol

  • would you pay 99 bucks if all you had on your computer was a text based OS?

    and come on.... reversey? how can you turn that down?!

  • Of course I would ;) I didn't want to turn it down.

  • sophisticated? when was he ever sophisticated? He just tried to sell a control panel and a driver as "Features"

  • Vista didn't come with Reversi :(

  • This dude is the greatest salesman ever.

  • Sweet! It comes with a clock!!

  • ROTFLMAO

  • Jesus, didn't that guy ever have hair?

  • LOL

  • ahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhaa­hha

  • Where can I buy one of these? My computer came with this crappy OS called vista. I could use something better like this.

  • REVERSI?!?! omg

  • omg i'm sold for life! o_O

  • except in nebraska. lol

  • dickweed keeps on interrupting me from making a guess how much their shitty, old pc costs.

    lol. =D

  • Wow, dude. Calm down lol

  • what a sad wanker

  • He convinced me to buy it

  • Ohhh, a clock!!! For just $99!!!  OMG!!!

  • Back then the operating system had one of it's first GUI of course the price would be $99, it's limited edition very limited possibilities and a whole lot of useless potential I prefer Windows NT over Vista, Vista looks the same as that to me

  • LOL except in nebraska!

  • a clock? DAYUM

  • Aha, exciting applications that I never seen before

  • 99 dls for that shit????? XD

    even for vista it's too much!!! XD

  • holy shit. fvcking hilarious.

  • ballmer is totally insane!

  • rofl back in the day...

  • it's over 9000!!!!!!!!!!

  • WOW...IT HAS A CLOCK!!! :)

  • u kidding me everyone who has a mac just wasted money Windows owns!

  • Microsft copy apple

    Microsoft sucks !!!!!!

    GET a mac !!!!1

  • and apple stole the mouse system from Xerox.

  • no they didint do your research

  • I feel dumber having watched this.

  • I this a real commercial?? Dear god

  • useless os, even today

  • and doing that will end up earning you $15 billion. the only cost is your sanity :)

  • The Amiga was kicking ass in graphics and sound when this ad was out.

  • I guess it goes to show that Microsoft wasn't keeping up with the Commodore, but they were certainly keeping up with them. :-p

  • What a Faggot.

  • Does anybody understand the nebraska reference?

  • Wow $99 for Vista...

  • Not in Nebraska?

  • Little known fact... back in those days Nebraska was the intellectual leader in the US... they were smart enough to not want that crap... sigh... how quickly things change

  • Wow, he was just as bald back then too.

  • Why is Bill letting this guy run his company into the ground. Steve Jobs is the real deal, not this guy.

  • You get no extra tards?

    What xD

  • what do i think its worth? at least half as much as it costs....its only $99?!....ok so a third as much as it costs.

  • this guy from the 80's got fricken issues.

  • Up yours Nebraska.

    I miss this kind of Microsoft Charm

    -

    Posted from a Mac.

  • EXCEPT IN NEBRASKA! XD

  • OMW to bestbuy to get one..... such a good deal, i fell sory for Nebraska

  • why? they got spared from it.

  • i was joking btw..hahah

  • What can I say ... after watching this I had to remind myself to breathe. What a f##$ing idiot!

  • he sounds like an annoying kid going through puberty lol

  • Ha ha haaaa! So true!

  • 286-DOS lmfao

  • wow... I totally dig the polo shirt, necktie, tweed jacket ensemble. It really works... LOL

  • Must be embarrasing for him. Look at him-he's just like Guy Kawasaki (i.e. "Macs! Cheap! Yeah!")

  • Ahh, Thats when windows was value for money. I rember the old days fondly..

  • BUT NOT NEBRASKA apparently microsoft>nebraska...

  • LISTEN UP you noobs who actually think this was a real commercial: why did the PO Box say 286-DOS? Why would the ad mention Nebraska in such a joking fashion? I challenge you to find anyone who saw this "commercial" on TV back then. This was clearly another joke video like the Matrix skit by Bill Gates.

  • Lmao

  • What about Nebraska?

  • why not nebraska??

  • what an immature twat

  • ¬¬ Did this commercial pass in the small hours?

  • All the people crediting Microsoft for bringing computing to the common household (this goes for people bashing them too) seem to forget that if they hadn't done it, someone else would have. Like Atari or Apple, or some other new company.

  • Don't forget about Amigas! They were in homes doing stuff that Macs and PCs could only dream about long before Macs and PCs broke out of the office, until Commodore went and messed things up! How they, and subsequent companies, managed to make a such a hash of marketing/developing such a wonderful little machine is beyond belief.

    Thanks Jay (may you rest in peace) and the rest of the team for creating a now often overlooked and forgotten icon.

    Thanks Commodore, you deserved your fate!

  • Hey, NO tech-aware guy will ever forget the unique contribution of the Amiga team to the computing world! I'm a Mac guy trying to remind people that it was Apple that first introduced the Graphical User Interface (Windows, Icons, etc.) and the mouse. But I'll never forget loading up on my Amiga 500 a whole graphics-editing application from a floppy disk for 'heavy duty' works, while viewing images & office documents & at the same time listening to music (REAL multitasking on 80's hardware!)

  • How could I have forgotten Amiga? >.< Can't wait to see Haiku get developed further. Might even change me from Linux!:P

  • HAIKU? You want Haiku? Why not just get AROS?-oh, wait, Haiku is BeOS based. Whoops...

  • woot!!! REVERSI!!

  • $99 what a rip off lol

  • reversi!!!!!!!!!! OMG ITS BETTER THEN LEPERD,VISTA,AND LINUX!!!!! I MUST HAVE IT NOW!!! ,lol
