Windows 386 Promo Video

A mid-80’s Microsoft promotional video given to vendors to push their new Windows 386 package.  Fairly bland corporate dialogue until about the 7 minute mark.  Then it’s just frighteningly dreadful, nostalgia-induced sickening, and entertaining all together.

Ah the 80’s.  ‘Twas a magical time.
