I'm glad I haven't eaten anything recently because this video gave me the urge to shove my fingers down my throat.

Amazing, I still think MS-DOS was the best OS made, so simple.

I still maintain that Microsoft isn't actually a software company, it's just a bunch of marketing.
Meeting for this ad must of been, "Let's just hammer the same rubbish until people accept it"

The largest Beta testing ever . . . sadly, I think it still is for Microsoft. :-p

That's what is brilliant about Microsoft. They use millions of Beta testers (aka consumers) and then offer exceptional support for the end user product. On top of that updates and upgrades for existing software is always free. Yeah we complain and moan about it but it really is an ingenious marketing strategy that was risky to put in place.

out of curiosity, what would be considered vintage? how old is old enough?

after all, 1991 was 16 years ago.

For once a video suddenly cutting out early wasn't such a bad thing for me.

"Geek, Music, Terrible, Wtf" is going to be my next album.

I think this video should qualify for a vintage tag. When it comes to computers, anything over 5 years old could be considered vintage.

I wonder how many millions of dollars bill spent on this. It looks pretty elaborate! Six actors! And a green screen! Splurg!

Iniquity, the 45kb line was probably a big sell because I bet he was referring to the 640kb of conventional memory which, as anyone creating a boot disk in those days knew, was a supreme pain in the ass to free up in order to run certain apps or play certain games. (Ultima VII and VIII being some of the worst offenders.)

But, you know, that's just what I hear, I mean, I was out doing completely non-nerdy things every day. Who can ever be sure?

jimnms have got a point. "vintage" is dependant on the object.
