    FWIW I am friends with the Lyft CEO and have forwarded this to him. So glad you’re safe.

    It’s true. The Stones tried to substitute another version at the last second. It was a heated discussion but we got the right version, just in time to launch the TV ad.

    Happy Win 95 launch day! 29 years ago we launched Windows 95 in Redmond, WA. A very memorable day for all of us involved in Win 95. Thanks to @MisterMorrill for the reminder.

    I read the article. Thoroughly unconvincing defense of her behavior, which if disclosed in real time, might have had a major impact on preventing the mess we’re in. Sure she might have then lost access but at the same time prevented egregious abuses and crimes.

    Good description by @anildash. We thought of Win 95 as a mass consumer product more than "just" an os. Right time, right technology was available, right product, right message. The world was ready for computers to be widely adopted by everyday people around the world.

    Counter-example: ValuAct led the effort to have Satya named as CEO at Microsoft. Hard to see that working out any better.

    My colleague and close friend, Brad Chase, VP Marketing for Win 95, describes the Start Me Up story in his book.

    She’s just another example of the grift that defines Trump and the current GOP. Indefensible.

    On this day in 1995, Windows 95 was released to manufacturing in preparation for the public launch on August 24.

    The Last Dance is one of the best documentaries ever. I really enjoyed seeing the Sonics in tonight’s episode 8 for the 95-96 Finals. Payton, Kemp, @Dschrempf et al brought so much joy to Seattle. We miss the Sonics so much here in Seattle.

    Vitally important information at the center of major crimes against the US including sedition - that she holds back to make $$$ with her book, the country be damned in service of her grift.
