A Cringey Microsoft Musical--Never Before Seen!
In the fall of 1992, Microsoft paid something like $2 million to put on a Broadway production with Bill Gates literally center stage, at New York City's Gershwin Theater, one of the largest on Broadway. It was a wild show, and yet, somehow, there was no video of this event currently posted online-until now. Read more about the production and how collaboration software came to be in "The Rise of Groupware" by Ernie Smith: spectrum.ieee.org/groupware

    *Summary* * *00:00** Microsoft's Broadway Production (1992):* In the fall of 1992, Microsoft spent roughly $2 million to stage a Broadway-style musical at the Gershwin Theater in New York City, promoting Windows for Workgroups. Bill Gates himself was a prominent part of the show. * *00:00** Focus on Windows for Workgroups:* The musical heavily emphasized the features and benefits of Windows for Workgroups, particularly its networking capabilities, file and printer sharing, and integrated applications like email and scheduling. * *00:00** Collaboration and Connectivity:* The overarching theme was the ease with which Windows for Workgroups could facilitate collaboration and connectivity among users, enabling them to share information and work together more efficiently. * *05:17** Bill Gates' Role:* Bill Gates played himself in the musical, acting as a helpful and knowledgeable consultant guiding users through the features of Windows for Workgroups. He even did jumping jacks at one point. * *00:00** Networking Capabilities Highlighted:* The musical demonstrated how Windows for Workgroups could seamlessly connect with various networks, including Novell NetWare, and access data from different sources. * *00:00** Applications Integration Showcased:* It also showed the integration of popular applications like Microsoft Word and Excel with Windows for Workgroups, further emphasizing its collaborative capabilities. * *06:12** Introduction of Windows NT:* Bill Gates also introduced Windows NT, highlighting its advanced 32-bit capabilities and security features for users with more demanding computing needs. * *00:00** Information at Your Fingertips:* The musical underscored Microsoft's vision of "information at your fingertips," showcasing technologies that would make accessing information easier and more intuitive. * *00:00** Lost and Found Video:* The video itself was considered lost for a long time before being recently uncovered and shared by IEEE Spectrum.

    Still doesn't equal the level of cringe MS has in its feud against java - to the point of getting one of the last (popular) bastions of the platform (minecraft) and attempting to ruin it, by moving it to another platform. That, is far above this in cringe. You'd think MS would've calmed down after that humiliating court sesh, but no, they're still at it... decades later. I swear, if it weren't for Windows - this company would be dust inside a month.

    • @ieeespectrum
      @ieeespectrum 5 дней назад

      For sure you can use a microcontroller to replicate the functions of the 555-you can get an 8-pin ATtiny for example that's even the same size-but there are still applications where it's handy to have simple "dumb" IC rather than the overhead of programming a microcontroller. 555's can also operate over a wide voltage range, while with a microcontroller you generally have to be careful to keep voltages close to the operating logic voltage, typically 3.3 or 5V. This means that if you're doing something simple, like debouncing a switch or controlling a 12V servo, the 555 can still be a good option!

    This was a lot of fun and gave me some sound ideas for modern devices that could make mass manufacturing of PCB's affordable to anyone that wanted to do small runs of custom electronics but still in the hundreds of unites produced. *A CNC machine with a drill bit and a solder extruder would make printing large and complex PCB's a cheap and quick process.* The bit drills a channel while the extruder passes secondary to the bit filling in the track trace with molten solder, and the bit could also drill the holes for PTH parts. I'll wager this could be done at a cost low enough that small operations could produce hundreds of units a month with just 3 or 4 people assembling them. *In this age of expensive custom musician audio products, hi-fi enthusiast that spend big league and so very many others that it's a viable economy for such an operation.* Prior, ideas like this never got launched because there simply weren't enough inventors and engineers to need to manufacture for themselves, but this has drastically changed today especially with Arduino and so many other cutting edge devices.

    I'm not afraid of the dentist, but that thing is terrifying. No, I don't want an autonomous robot drilling my teeth out. Even if my meatbag dentist is more likely to make a mistake, I know that they know what pain feels like so I trust they won't want to cause me more pain than is necessary because of that.

      I think the robot will cause the least pain due to better precision control. Also I think there's a ton fail safes and protocols for the robot to register pain from the patient. I'd definitely love to try a robot dentist.

    As an amateur engineer due to never completing my degree, I still came to realize after a few years outside of school that building full scale I.C.'s is one of the most critical steps in grasping so very many theories of operation, relativistic quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics as well as getting a much deeper grasp on design theory and topology. Once you have to deal with extravagant intelligence processing in anything whether it's analog or digital, understanding the mechanisms by which devices like timers and op amps, oscillators operate with at a deeper scale is fundamental for being a competent engineer. I also can't imagine anyone would want to be limited to heavy reliance on IC's with no greater understanding of how they function. *Any fool can use tutorials, kits, hacker mods etc. to get some desired results but only an engineer and inventor can create the source of those results other people seek to replicate.* This is why I never stopped learning even after I didn't return to school. *I ultimately invented a new type of induction motor that can be used to create an entirely new branch of technology because it's capable of so very many complicated processes just within itself, let alone in a larger scale circuit.* It's an induction intelligence controlled motor that will potentially change the world.
