Ok, she was cool up until the point she started singing at her keyboard. T-bone?!? Come on. How cheesy.

What the f@ck is this?????

I really wish I could come up with a witty quip to follow that but there isn't enough wit in the world that can perfume that pig.

I want to taser myself.

Here's the whole video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=491587592993083623...

Note the secretary has a nice southern accent at the start. And yes, there's far more cheese in the full video than what's above.

What the fork? Really man, WTF? Damn 80's and those big ass glasses! I'm embarrassed to admit now that I have Windows Vista running in my Parallels. I will remove it immediately!

no, for the love of god no
did david lynch and woody allen co-produce this?

you know what's sad, is that not that much has actually changed since that video was made. I mean, she was using it to get "online" to look for information then type it into a report. that's pretty much my job right there. I'd have been awesome in the 80s.

It's like a lost espisode of 'Charlie's Angels' directed by David Lynch. All it needed was Michael J. Anderson bringing her disks dressed like a lumberjack.

Don't do drugs.

SWEET! Holy crap, that thing looks awesome. Seriously though, why are you guys mockin' this? I've been waiting for something like to come out for like.... EVER!

Can I get it on Amazon, or will I need GeekSquad to install it for me?

windows geared up for war, featuring dramatic WWII type-theme music (most likely sound file battlebulge.mP4 from your latest medal of honor game)

I don't know why you guys are complaining. I pretty much had the best bat ever while watching that.

bill,s on drugs this has got to be proof

"OK T-bone! Time for some serious crunching!" New YTMND fad, you heard it here first.

its funny, these ads were way better, but it never translated into sales.

I like how the guy thought it was Mac OS2 in the beginning. "No! it just looks like it!"

Hmm, this sounds familiar...

This is painfully nostalgic AND painfully surreal at the same time.

Is there, like, an MP3 available?

My favorite part is when she starts to sing -- or rap -- did white people rap back then? besides Blondie, I mean?

♫ I'm using Windows, Windows three-eighty-six
so all my app-li-ca-tions, are running at once... ♫

-- and then she starts to uh, take off her clothes...

I might have to pop over to www.erowid.com, list video this as a new drug, then file a Bad Trip report.

oh....
my....
god...

I think it's supposed to be IBM's OS/2 which was developed by IBM and Microsoft - later IBM took over development.

Mac OS2?

its funny, these [apple] ads were way better, but it never translated into sales.

It's almost like lousy products aren't sold by great commercials.

"Hi, I'm a real business tool, the one more than 90% of the world uses."
"And I'm just a tool!"

How can they possibly NOT be flying off the shelves?!?! I know SO much about it from that commercial.

WOW its like an updated reefer madness

mike: this OS/2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2

this video should get a Razzie Hall of Fame award for cheessiest ever.

wow that was worse than well, pr0n acting.

This is one of those videos that is actually better with the sound off.

To quote Dr. Smith, "Oh, the pain...Oh, the pain..."

almost needs a unicorn chaser...

Clearly I am not high enough.

HAHAHA!!! Mac fans sometimes... Wrong OS2 buddy.

Try this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2

it started like a bad infomercial... then... then... T-BONE?

It makes my ass bleed with sadness.

Her rap is DYING for a remix.

I am afraid to use my PC at work now. If I had seen this in the 90's I may have never been a Windows user. I'm glad I switched back to the Mac now. The worst they had was that awful "We are Apple" song back in '83.

If this was a skit on Saturday Night Live in 2007, I might watch it.

It's making my ass bleed with sadness.

Her rap is totally DYING for a remix.

That's it, I'm downgrading to Windows 386. Copy and pasting between programs? HELL YES!

I love how it starts out sort of normal, and then gets REALLY WEIRD and then tries to become normal again, which is even weirder.

I'm starting to wonder whether people were weirder before the Internet or after. I can't imagine a video like this getting made nowadays, and yet, it couldn't distribute itself as much back then as it can now.

How can this be an ad when it is 6 minutes long? It looks more like some internal promotional BS.

Oh my god lady... that was a terrible freestyle. I think this was the pilot for a terrible windows television sitcom.

I was all into this at the beginning thinking "this is better than Battlestar Galactica", then it turned into a musical and it was like "WTF". But then she had me all into it again when the clothes started coming off. I even started taking mine off in anticipation. Then 'ol geek walked in and "hell yeah, I'm going to see some 80s porn bush!"... Didn't get futher than that, lost my load and passed out.

This is one of the best I have seen. I mean I was flipping with the little things she keep doing. Also Oh my FK god, did you see how fast she got online. I was just in such a state of shock that I don't know what to say.

i like cheese.

drugs. For sure :-S

Umm.

Ummmmmm.

I think Gizmodo should do a contest of the most popular/(whatever the frack this was) video of Vista. Some sort of prize for the winner/(loser?) . . .

Maybe something really ironic, like a free copy of Leopard when it comes out or something like that . . .

Read this Gizmodo Overlords, read this!

Windows/386

The Soul of the New Machines

Wow, just Wow! I held it together until she started errr, I'll go with singing as the closest thing to describe it. The costume change was scary, clearly all the guys in that video just wanted to get the hell out of her office as soon as they could.

OMG! i have seen some seriously f#@cked up stuff on you tube and this absolutely uncatagoricaly takes the cake, i cannot beleive even back then that this was in any way considered sane. i would love to know who made this i bet its someone famous now! in either the advertising, filmmaking or porn world!! i am stunned thats a keeper!!!!!!!!!!

Is it possible to watch a video and suddenly be much, much stupider than you were before watching it? I feel like my brain has been hit by an atomic bomb.

I love the part where she was using both hands to undo her tie and yet was still typing. What was she using, her erect nipples?

i just fell off my chair laughing at that... oh and nice to see an admission from MS that it looks like mac OS2

With the sound off it looks like a porno is about to start.

That looked like Vista, without all the security overhead.

Heheh all is explained...

It's not Mac anything they are referring to, it's IBM OS/2.... damn

and this is the company you want designing your O.S.

LOL

I am amazed that no one has identified the background music as the Mission: Impossible music.

It was the tension-building theme.
