As requested by many of you, today we're taking a look at Microshaft Winblows 98. This program was released in the late '90s, right around when the Microsoft DOJ lawsuit was just beginning. It had a goal of making fun of Microsoft and Bill Gates. Let's see how good (or bad) it is!

Wow, those ridiculous themed program windows on the desktop actually make me a little nostalgic for the very late 90s. To think there was a time we thought it was cool to have apps shaped like jelly beans. (It was kind of "gas leak year" for the entire shareware\freeware industry...)

I had this and another Parroty Interactive parody called Star Warped (obvious Star Wars parody) I had bought from a local dollar store years ago when I had a Windows 98 computer. Definitely campy with the humor both were attempting to pull, especially with Winblows running things into the ground with the Windows puns.

Keep that windows98 installation CD and reg number. I just used an old Windows98 Installation CD to find a problem on an install of Windows 7 hangup. It is easy to access fdisk from booting the CD, as well as some other utilities. This was on an old laptop that ran Windows Vista (so you know why I was upgrading it) and had started hanging during bootup. I cannot tell you how much I hate Vista. Anyhow, I have my Windows95, Windows98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 CD's along with a couple Redhat Linux CD's. Always good to keep them on hand. You never know when they will come in handy.
