Wow.....
Glad they don't do those type of commercials anymore. Windows should be just $99... I mean they pay you $99 to use it.

of course $99 then is probably worth more than the cost of windows now.

I don't think I started using Windows until 3.0.. before that I was using stuff like basic on the C64, CPM, and Amiga OS to name a few.
My first real computer was a C64 which cost $599 at the time.. a princely sum for what you got compared to the same amount today! My current computer was only $299 on clearance 2 years ago and I have to admit, XP is lots better than the C64 basic (tho I used to uise Geos too).

Could this be it?
What is this Case About?
Plaintiffs allege that Microsoft unlawfully used anticompetitive means to maintain a monopoly in markets for certain software, and that as a result, it overcharged Nebraska consumers who licensed its MS-DOS, Windows, Word, Excel and Office software. Microsoft denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and believes that it developed and sold high quality and innovative software products at fair and reasonable prices. The parties settled the case, and on April 28, 2005, the Court conditionally certified a Settlement Class (defined in the notice) and preliminarily approved the Settlement Agreement. The Court granted final approval of the Settlement at a hearing on November 17, 2005. http://www.microsoftproductssettlem...braska/Faq.aspx
