Also a tangent, but Microsoft was the OG for corporate cringe.

Everyone forgets about this cringe from Microsoft, but it is oddly endearing to me too.

Oh my god.

How strong does a company's reality distortion field have to be for people to think your friends are going to want to come over to play with a new version of Windows?

I mean, why not "Let's all have wine and cheese and do root canals on each other!"?

It was a different time.

I honestly was excited about Windows 95. Win98 was underwhelming, and WinME was a joke that I never bothered to install on my own machines. Win2K brought back some of the excitement, but not much.

Then Vista came out, and it was a total flop at first. Win7 fixed most of those mistakes, but the damage was done. Vista basically killed any chance Microsoft had at building excitement for an OS.

FWIW, I think the last macOS version that I was really looking forward to was High Sierra.
