Good find, reminds me of that stock photo of the chick holding the soldering iron wrong, not much research done by the photographer or advertising agency.

Ow, that image hurts. Invoking the 90s by showing an Amiga from the 80s showing a password prompt with design cues from Windows 2000. Ow, ow, ow. |

Amiga 1000 running PC-Task running Windows 95
probably just used because it has no copyright. what is the full translation from the advert, anyone? |

Forget Microsoft. Gary Kildall was streets ahead of Microsoft. Gary wrote the CP/M operating system that was promised to be ported to all. Microsoft stole Gary Kildall's idea that MSDOS was based upon. After Gary lost the contract, he turned to alcoholism and died in a bar brawl. Gates was a failed graduate whom stole other ideas. End of discussion.

The full advert (including the second picture representing a laptop but not shown here) translates as : "In the 90's you had a great password.. Today, you are the password." Which is far from the slogan I would like to hear since it means that my biometricals informations are "stored/used" by such OS and companies ... But this is another topic .

yes I noticed theres no logos including the monitor, also the Amiga keys appear to be blank.
although the second Alt key looks a bit like an A but it's just a blur.. thanks for the translation. |

CP/M and MS-DOS have to be the most complete and utter boring operating systems. I was underwhelmed when I bought an ATOnce card for my A500 in 1989 to run one of them. I played with CP/M on the 128 and it was a yawning experience.

this has gone quite off topic
Copying in the computer world has always been happening, Gates is a bit of a Edision he never could come up with the initial idea but once he got an idea he developed it. |

Here you have the story from Wikipedia; DR-DOS et operativsystem for PC-er, opprinnelig utviklet av Gary Kildalls Digital Research og basert på CP/M-86. På slutten av 1980-tallet og begynnelsen av 1990-tallet konkurrerte DR-DOS med Microsofts MS-DOS.
DR-DOS 7.01 er frigitt under en ikke-kommersiell lisens for åpen kildekode, og blir videreutviklet av The DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project, stiftet i juli 2002. Last edited by ma693541; 03 May 2021 at 08:29. Reason: Sorry for the Norwegian text, translate it thru Google if you want. |
