Q: When did PC stop meaning Personal Computer and start meaning Microsoft?

A: 1998

$300 million for that. Wow! If some one was to hand me a case with that many clean bill or better yet just silver bullion. I would only have 3 questions. Who,Where and When.

This is going to be good for laughs. M$ marketing seem to be all former engineers, complete with pocket protector and taped glasses.

Hey if Microsoft can spend $0.3 billion on a pointless ad campaign, can they spend that on me, I’d so be fine with that, or you know, make a good OS with it. If only WINE emulated Game Tap….

On a side note; when did PC stop meaning Personal Computer and start meaning Microsoft. I always thought of a PC as a tower, though technically laptops are personal and computer so they’d have to be shoved in there, but servers not so much.

Not to mention that it’s factually incorrect. Some people may have, at some point in time, thought the Earth was flat. Bet well before Columbus sailed to the Americas, most people knew the Earth is round.

Also, Columbus was a hack. The Venetian and Portuguese governments both turned him down before the Spanish government sent him on his voyage (many people don’t seem to realize that he was Italian, not Spanish). He was also too stubborn to admit that he screw up, and insisted on calling North America India until the day he died.

Next Columbus day, I suggest celebrating Vasco de Gama, who kicked Columbus’s ass all over the globe.

Anyway, look at art that predates 1492. Lots of round Earths.

“Microsoft Office …. yea, people used to think the sun revolved around the earth”… I’ve got a better one for you

“At one point, people thought our OS was the best option”… good point M$ … times change, maybe you’ll go the way of the Neanderthals and slip quietly into extinction :)
