Description

Go behind the Blue Screen of Death to meet those who made Windows 95 possible: the Microsoft programmers who were addicted to snorting Pixy Stix, the marketers who used mass hypnosis to trick the press, the software testers who battled a literal giant bug in the code, the visionary director of the Windows 95 Cyber-Sitcom Instructional Video, and “Mighty God” Bill Gates, who jumped over a chair. This is the oral history of the biggest software event of the 90s. Bigger than if Beanie Babies and the Macarena came on CD-ROM and also ran Microsoft Word. For the first time ever, read the untold, unbelievable, largely untrue story of the creation of Windows 95.
