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)

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).

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.]
