SBindows 1.0

"You might expect to pay almost one hundred..." slightly resembles Steve Ballmer's TV ad for Windows 1.0 (do Google search for "Steve Ballmer Sells Windows 1.0").

From: Strong Bad Sings
Posted on: 17:39, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • This is an extremely incorrect fun fact. The ad itself basicly says something close to the common "You might expect to pay $500, or $1,000, but no! Only $99!"
  • Nowhere in the "ad" does Steve Ballmer say anything close to "You might expect to pay almost one hundred."

Additional comments:

  • I did do a Google search and I think this fact is about this TV ad.
  • Hehe.. When I named this fact I didn't realize the SB is not only for Strong Bad, but for Steve Ballmer too.
  • "Slightly resembles"?!
