Windows 1.0 with Steve Ballmer (1986) (HQ, 60FPS)
This is the famous Windows 1.0 parody “advertisement” shown internally at Microsoft, now in glorious 60FPS and high-quality audio! Surreal to think this was only previously available in a highly compressed form for over a decade.

Still wild that this is the man who owns the Los Angeles Clippers.
Why not in Nebraska?
People knew this is great marketing concept. No body could do this or could act like this
now, Steve is billionaire…. better salesman…..
steve ballmer, the man who overhyped windows and kickstarted it all!
Steve made that 'Except in Nebraska' sound really personal.
I don't know why people in the comments are surprised on how smooth the video is. Almost all analog cameras that didn't record on film always looked like this. I believe video quality got worse throughout the 00s because of early internet video. Digital video doesn't look that bad on DV/Digital8 tape or DVDs, but the hype didn't last for that long for those formats. Instead of shooting on camcorders, we have been moving on to DSLR/digital cameras, action cameras, and smartphones, which will obviously not look as impressive as analog/early digital camcorders look and usually have a choppy framerate and a shitty digital zoom that just crops the image. I still shoot on camcorders, and many people don't even realize how good it looks if you deinterlace it properly, or watch it on a CRT screen.

Fun fact, this ad never actually aired on TV. It was made as a joke by Steve Ballmer.
What's wrong with Nebraska? 😯 And what about Somalia?

Ah, the “genius” who said the iPhone wouldn’t sell.
Why except for Nebraska. What's the discrimination?
Ftr this was not a serious commercial it was a humorous prep up for employees at Microsoft but it did serve as inspiration for REAL stockholder prep talks later on
The still ongoing truth in the software industry; the salesmen take all the credit. The engineers take all the shit
What a despicable person
