I am waiting for the Blue Screen of Death tee.

It is cool only if microsoft is not the one launching this product.
And I don’t think it’s a good marketing campaign.

@ Gorf that was pretty funny
@ Daniel you sound like Justin Long…Whoever told you Windows needs fixing? It works just fine for me and billions of other people. I guess you millions of mac users are too buy worshipping Steve Jobs to realize anything else.

I imagine the tees will have some holes in them, then they’ll put out some patches….

You’d think MS would invest time and money into fixing up windows than creating a clothing line. Again, Microsoft’s logic never ceases to amaze me.

I bet Justin Long could get one made with the words “Windows Mojave” on it…

Ok that is just hot. Can I be first in line for the QBasic t-shirt? Or maybe the DosShell Tee? Seriously, for all Microsoft’s faults you can’t deny the good memories had by all in the 80s and early 90s. If the first thing you learned in dos was cd /games and go.bat you know what I mean.

no, Microsoft didn’t steal DOS, he did develop PC-DOS for IBM for the year he was there but MS-DOS is a complete rewrite with his own freedom applied to it.

The only thought more repulsive than nerdy neckbeards with thick framed glasses strutting around in Apple / Linux clothing is the thought of nerdy neckbeards with thick framed glasses strutting around in Microsoft clothing.

Just to properly iterate – MS DOS was a copy of QDOS, QDOS was a rip of CP/M.

jz,

Not really, they purchased rights to QDOS (Quick and Dirty) which was a ripoff DOS and just relabeled it.

definitely cool t-shirts.

This isnt marketing or advertising, its a product line extension, which Im surprised they are just creating now?? While it would be funny to see in a mass market(ie. walmart), they will probably only be an online item.

Excelent idea

They didn’t steal it. They bought it. For 50 grand.

Wow. I wish I could time-travel back to the 7th grade.

Then I could explain to Mom EXACTELY why I have a black eye.

Each logo is printed two inches too high on the shirt.

I think they are being a bit stealth. After all, hipsters don’t read technology websites; they read Pitchfork

Didn’t MS steal DOS… kind of ironic.

oh and the first design is hot.

I’m getting one. PERIOD.

Microsoft and Crispin should have been more stealth with this idea. Guerrilla market those shirts so that hipsters think it is underground and ironically uncorporate.
