Update: Proof that at Microsoft, some things never change. Found in the comments section of Lileks’ post is a much earlier Microsoft promo video, designed to explain the miracles of Windows 386 to nascent computer retailers.

    Acting is such a dignified job. I feel sorry for these actors, both in the Win7 and the 386 commercial.
