Thats pretty standard in the upper-end of car purchasing, Ferrari, new models from BMW or Mercedes. All dealers hold waitlists -- its just likely you've never purchased a model that has one.

Also Windows had huge lines... the iconic photo: http://i.imgur.com/oc2EDhE.jpg?fb

Ferrari production is single-digit thousands at most, they can't have anything like this sort of demand.

It was fantastic. I was living just south of Redmond at the time. There was news coverage about it. Ballmer and Gates were driving around town in a Ballmer's Porsche blasting "start me up" (the theme for the Win95 launch), congratulating shoppers.
