"Is that OS2?" "No! It's Windows 386..."

It just looks like OS2. And…each window has its own virtual 8086 machine, with 640K of memory! Wow!!

If you’re (a) older and (b) been in the tech biz for a while, this is guaranteed to give you nightmares. On the other hand, it’s just plain funny! An official Microsoft ad, this is. One wonders where it ran, because it's seven minutes long. Certainly not on TV... perhaps a promo for corporate IT managers? At any rate, I don't remember it. But then again, I wasn't originally in the "desktop" world. I do remember the old blue-screen, white font MS-Word (for DOS) you see briefly in the ad.
