shtoink Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 No, but I do have a copy of it in my stuff somewhere. It's mixed in with a bunch of other disks of M$ betas that were released. (Not the pirated type either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TvvqKMZ72bsklauw5 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 M$ Bob was Micro$oft's attempt at making a "user-friendly" interface. It was an application that setup a "house" on your computer and each room belonged to someone in your family. You could then customize it with programs and applications represented with real-world items (i.e. Calculator with a calculator on a table, eMail with letters, etc.). Ultimately, it failed because it seemed too oversimplified that no-one cared for it (that's my opinion, but it seriously did fail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldousHxlE Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have installed on top of Windows 95 within VMWare. I played with it for about 2 hours, got bored, and haven't touched it since. Still, its an interesting piece of software to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke! Hi everyone! [NOTE : This post originally appeared on April 1, 2007, and was an April Fools Day joke. Vista does not include a copy of BOB, but if you scroll down to the comments, one of my readers has posted a link to a download of the original BOB installer if you really want to run it.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
