You young’uns out there may not know what MS Bob is, but it was Microsoft’s failed attempt at putting a pretty face on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. And boy was it ugly, clunky, and crap — that was later implemented in Windows XP. I remember reading somewhere (can’t remember where) that before they were married, Melinda, Bill Gates’ wife, was the lead developer on the “Bob” project. And that’s where they met, and fell in love.
You can read into that how ever you want. Thanks to Neil for the link.

bill gates murdered me in 1996, and i deserved it. i was stupid, insulting and utterly childish, in fact, i should have been aborted before birth.

I love Microsoft Bob. 🙂 It is really cool. And if Billy was not getting some, we would not have this cool Paper Clip icon for MS Word.
