Yeah people don’t believe how insane it was. I missed the 95 craziness, but I worked at CompUSA for Windows 98.
That was nuts… people camped out in the parking lot a week out to get some giveaways and deals.
I had graduated from school and had a professional job by then, but I happened to arrive at the store for Windows Me launch day when I popped in to grab a cable or something. I remember it was sad, they did a launch event and nobody came. So I got a free windows birthday cake with my overpriced cable!
Microsoft really nailed product marketing in the 90s.
