Wow.
3:06 Sam Kinison screamin?
I see this contains a higher quality version of the Steve Ballmer Windows 1.0 “commercial” at around 4:25. The copies that have been circulating around on the internet for years were all pretty poor quality.
That meeting wait music was super sexy.
“What’s with these homies dissin’ my girl?”
48:00 Jay Leno plays a flying game and crashes into mountains repeatedly. the host unironically says ‘wow jay you’re doing pretty well for a rookie”
Where’s the famous dance video? Thought that was also the 95’ launch.
Did you get permission to show this? Because it says, right at the beginning, that
# Rebroadcast without permission is strictly prohibited.
This is awesome! Never seen before!
ballmer coked as fuck in that commercial
I love how every single interview testimonial shot uses a crazy Dutch angle (I.e. tilted shot). Soooo early/mid 90s.
“I had 18 windows open at once!”
Some of my coworkers need to see this.
Jay Leno looks like he’d rather be any other place than in this video.
“Except in Nebraska.” I mean why? Big L for Nebraska lmfao.
1986 Steve Ballmer was pretty intense.
I remember when win 95 released at Best Buy. The employees were ignoring everyone in the computer department, so a couple of my friends went down the row of display computers and started reformatting all of the drives before leaving.
WTF. Space Cadet Pinball was on Win 95?! (48:50) I thought that only came on XP.
So, I was at this event at a [satellite location](https://i.imgur.com/cLGWcuq.png) in Florida. ([Article](https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1995/08/23/windows-95-opens-on-a-waiting-world/) the image is from)
Trust me when I say: It was just as corny then as it is now. I simply stayed around ’til the end for the free merch and licensed copy of 95.
I am almost afraid to watch this, again. Give me a bit. I need more coffee, 1st. Might come back with more insights.
devlopers….
This was such an innovative leap.
I remember watching this live and could never find the full launch event until now! I remember how huge Windows 95’s launch was and all of the jokes made during the launch event were very much a sign of the times then.
great comedy find. current presentations are bit lame and have nothing historic in them to go back and watch.
“vcr flashing 12” wow that might be the oldest ref I can experience
Bill Gates has aged considerably. Jay Leno not at all.
