A friend who works for Microsoft said those who share this info on Facebook will get a check from Bill Gates for $1000.

What's that old saying about "... one born every minute?" 😉


I heard Dell, HP, Asus, Acer and other vendors were going to produce equipment with 13 year old technology to go along with the MS unveiling! :B

An even more limited edition version, its press run rumored to be in the low single digits, will be the "floppy crate" version. This edition makes the OS available on 451 3.5-inch floppy disks, all packed in a crate measuring approximately one cubic foot in size and emblazoned on all sides with the Microsoft flag logo. Each unit will be signed by Bill Gates and hand-numbered.

"We understand some of our most stalwart, longtime users are still using older hardware," Microsoft has said, "and we wanted to offer a way for those users as well to enjoy the newest edition of a classic operating system."

I always knew the day would come when I would need a 3.5" floppy drive.
