The Birth Of Windows XP
by
Chi_The_Cynic
6-25-03
At Microsoft HQ, late 1990s
Well, it looks like the public has made its decision - Windows just isn't getting a good press at all
Yeah, especially after that time you crashed '98 on live television
Yeah... I mean, I guess it stands to reason - we do make terrible operating systems, after all...
If only people could see past that
Hey! How about we make Windows look pretty and fluffy? Then people'll forget what's wrong with it behind the scenes
Yeah! That's a great idea! It'll sure save us a whole lot of expense in developing a WORKING version of Windows, too!
