After first seeing Microsoft’s slogan for its upcoming Windows XP operating system, "it just works", I couldn’t help wondering: what were the slogans for all the previous releases? After thinking about it for a while, they became obvious.
| Windows 1.0 | Good joke, eh? |
| Windows 2.0 | Still funny, isn’t it? |
| Windows 286 | Yeah, we’re still kidding. |
| Windows 386 | Going boldly where Desqview has been for years. |
| Windows 3.0 | It’s finally worth buying! |
| Windows 3.1 | It’s finally worth using! |
| Windows 95 | Going boldly where the Mac has been for years. |
| Windows 98 | More usable! Less stable! |
| Windows 98SE | More stable! Less usable! |
| Windows ME | Less usable AND less stable! |
| NT 1.0 | Give me more hardware! NOW!!! |
| NT 2.0 | Dammit, I said MORE HARDWARE!!! NOW!!!! |
| NT 3.0 | Which part of "more hardware" do you not understand? |
| NT 3.5 | With enough hardware, I’d work. Honest. |
| NT 4.0 | Does less than Win98 with twice the hardware at one-half the speed. |
| Windows 2K | Works almost as well as Windows 98! Honest! |
| Windows XP | It just works. |
