The History of Microsoft

Aside from the strange robotic voice, this is a very amusing video clip on the history of Microsoft, complete with blue screens. Clip after the jump.

"look at him in the chair he obviously has issues" oh man that is histerical

Ha, thats not fair. Microsoft has VERY original consepts. Who ever did this is closed minded and stupid. Not funny or amusing...and bill gates in that chair well..to bad it wasnt him. And the pie is VERY dis-respectfull and mean. Wow...This guy is ver biased and only sees 1 side of it. People make mistakes...No need to exploit them

I'd imagine this guy will disappear in the next 24 hours or else bill gates will have him assassinated. btw the strange voice is the disability software for vision impaired persons that cannot see the screen...from microsoft, of course

Steve Ballmer screaming...reminds me of Howard Dean...classic

[...] The History of Microsoft is a funny and interesting video. I was actually embarassed watching Steve Balmer running around the stage screaming. Just remember developers, developers, developers, developers… [...]

This video is the history of Windows, that's why it doesn't show Jobs talking about how great is to be working with MS and having IE as the main browser, or how Jobs was anti-drm in 2002 but now he is against the french law to open itunes. Maybe someone should do a "The history of OSX" video. On second though... nah, no one cares about it!

For those interested in bloopers from the other side, here it is a video about jobs and the os x: here

Microsoft doesn't have taste? One word Jobs: Xerox!

Microsoft doesn't have original ideas? One word Jobs: Xerox!

Geez, everyone needs to calm down a bit in here... Cmon, microsoft isn't exactly original. Internet Explorer 7 is essentially a commercialised and corporate clone of Firefox. Vista is constantly being upgraded to compete with the ideas integrated into MacOS X. Nevertheless Microsoft are in a position where they can influence the entire computer market, so all they need is someone as innovative as Jobs to transform the computer world into something people actually like.

HAHAHAHAHA THIS WAS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!
12
wow...
13
i actually think yes, thats byast again Micrsoft, there the #1 leading company for professional computers, and games i believe

Hello Good ideas from Microsoft are not originally designed by their programmers, but bought to other companies that make uncle's Bill bussiness worry! Regards, Alex

No one thinks that whoever created this will die?
16
hehe... that wasnt even funny... just a documentary about Microsoft/Bill... I can see all that at home on my pc. I would like to see 1 on Mac OSX cuz I dont get to see any errors on my own... wonder why? :)

TO KEITH. The voice is from Macintosh Voice-to-speech. This just goes to show Windows users judge without knowing s***.

Don't HATE! I wish bill well. It doesn't matter how he did it, point is. HE IS THE RICHEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!! let him be your Role Model. Besides you know they f*** with him on purpose, they prolly covered infrared port, cause than miraculasly slideshow went on with the program. Think, don't HATE!

ummm Aaron? this video is "byast?" yes, you are correct, it is BIASED, but that is the freakin point, dipsh*t. thank you for making it clear to all of us the true intelligence level of windows users. and btw, the voice is NOT from windows, its the text to speech software from Mac OS X......thank you.

ok quick question.. are you using a macintosh or an PC? yes i thought so, Mac's are for computer illiterate people.. oh and i'm sure if you follow anyone around 24 hours a day, you will catch them doing something dumb or making a mistake, it is inevitable. Even look at george bush, he has it the worst. This vid's a cheap shot at bill gates, his products are good, XP works really well and very stable. just sometimes overpriced. whoever made the video just a sore loser can't compete with microsoft

This video and many of your comments are directed towards Bill Gates. Look, Microsoft and Apple are not two different religions! They are just two different computing solutions. It makes no difference which path you really take. But please, don't make fun of Bill Gates. Sure, he does look a bit geeky, but I hope you know that that man and his family have amazing hearts. They donate more money to charities and student scholarships than anyone else in the world. Just think about that before you go and talk shit on someone.

I think what we have here is litle man syndrome. Macintosh users are always trying to nit-pick their way to computer superiority. Windows dominates the computer market and Macintosh users just can't handle defeat.

Of all the horrendous problems humanity is facing around the world, you ignorant dorks think your little Microsoft vs. Apple war is the most important. Wake up, losers - it isn't even in the top 100. Real people don't give a crap.

I love it when Gates demos a new product, and it fails very publicly.
