After first seeing Microsoft's slogan for its upcoming Windows XP operating system, "it just works," I couldn't help wondering: what were the slogans for all the previous releases? After thinking about it for a while, they became obvious.
* Windows 1.0:
Good joke, eh?
* Windows 2.0:
Still funny, isn't it?
* Windows 286:
Yeah, we're still kidding.
* Windows 386:
Going boldly where Desqview has been for years.
* Windows 3.0:
It's finally worth buying!
* Windows 3.1:
It's finally worth using!
* Windows 95:
Going boldly where the Mac has been for years.
* Windows 98:
More usable! Less stable!
* Windows 98SE:
More stable! Less usable!
* Windows ME:
Less usable AND less stable!
* NT 1.0:
Give me more hardware! NOW!!!
* NT 2.0:
Darn it, I said MORE HARDWARE!!! NOW!!!!
* NT 3.0:
Which part of "more hardware" do you not understand?
* NT 3.5:
With enough hardware, I'd work. Honest.
* NT 4.0:
Does less than Win98 with twice the hardware at one-half the speed.
* Windows 2K:
Works almost as well as Windows 98! Honest!
* Windows XP:
It just works.
