Windows at 25: Time to move out

22.11.2010

* Friendless nerds would have spent their Saturday nights playing Solitaire with actual playing cards.

* We could listen to the Stones' "Start Me Up" without being reminded of Windows 95.

* Steve Ballmer would be doing on late-night TV.

* Bill Gates would still be putting the finishing touches on BASIC 7.1.1a; neither Jay Leno nor would be returning his calls.

* We might all be using OS/2 Warp 12 and complaining bitterly about IBM.
