Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Microsoft Bob v1.00a

A disk image (ISO) of Microsoft Bob.
For use on a very old computer or a virtual machine.




Microsoft Bob was Microsoft’s quirky attempt in the mid-90s to make computers easier for beginners. Instead of the typical Windows desktop, it gave users a cartoon-style house where rooms represented different computer tasks. Want to write a letter? Click the desk. Need to do math? Click the calculator on the shelf.

It also came with friendly cartoon guides, like Rover the dog, to help walk you through things—kind of like an early (and less annoying) version of Clippy from Microsoft Office.

Bob had good intentions, but it was slow, weird, and most people didn’t like it. It quickly became one of Microsoft’s most famous flops, but it did leave behind some legacies—like inspiring Comic Sans and parts of later Windows helpers.
