The splash screen for Windows 3.1, arguably the breakaway point for Microsoft.  The classic "flying window" logo flies up top, with its four-colored panes disappearing into digital static; the name Microsoft Windows appears in serif dropshadow; "Copyright Microsoft Corporateion 1985-1992.  All Rights Reserved."

I agree. I wish it was possible to upgrade the hardware of laptops and easier to repair your own devices.

That's what Bob was for!

Microsoft Bob logo from 1995. The O in Bob is a yellow smiley face wearing glasses with thick black frames.

This was my first Windows! After a few years of DOS and playing around with BASIC, using Windows felt like a dream come true.

Those were the times, as buttons looked like real buttons and windows had real borders.
