That ad was pure genius. Back when most people had never used a computer, it took just a minute to say: these things can run games, teach your kids, help you run your business, let you communicate with the world. Compare that to IBM's ads for OS/2, which were boring, confusing, or cringy.
@@rodrigogirao8344 Well, hope we find out the truth at some point, but The stores are very picky and protective or their catalog, so who knows. They do not license often.
Oh yeah, back when the prospect of sitting down to use your computer made you feel this way. Now it's just the usual slimmed-down desktop, barely more than a browser, can't even play CDs. No serial port, nothin. Can't even plug in an Ethernet cable, let along a frekin modem. What a bummer. I mean, look at all they could do with dial-up in '95. Now you need a freakin 50 Gigs a month or something ridiculous.

this ad is so old that it looks modern again
this
00:54 The Twin Towers
It was so magical to own a computer back then, everything it did seem so fantastic.
My uncle made this ad. Really awesome, I had no idea he did this kind of thing until recently, super proud to know the guy that made this work of art!
Got played on tv non stop in late 95
Yep. A lot of people got played by MIcrosoft over the years.
My parents often cite this as the only commercial that succeeded in selling them something, because of how big of a step-up it was from DOS.
My favorite part of the ad is when the girl turns around with the "woo"!
my favorite part is the hotty in the back of the limo. I would like to make her face pregnant
29 years ago and still starting up.
“You make a grown man cry” lmao
this ad would work even if it promoted windows 11
Awesome ad, pretty classy.
0:54 World Trade Center. 😢
Good old days
Great quality! Thank you.
WOW!!!! This ad reminds me of the 94 world cup. This commercial might as well be a Delorean with a flux capacitor.
I always think of this commercial - to this day when I hear this song. Sorta sad, isn’t it? This song deserves a better spot in my head.
Ahhhh simpler times.
men i just went to the store and they sold out of windows 95, what a hot release
Good times. My first pc Packard bell pentium 60 MHz playing 3D dinosaur.
Indeed man. This was my first OS. :)
I miss Win95
Still one of the most recognizable riffs in Rock History!!
Rolling Stones would later sell their song She's A Rainbow for Apples iMac computer commercials. Apparently they don't use computers.
that song hits me in the feels yo
コンピュータがまだワクワクのカタマリだった頃の名作CM✨
Good times, first gui
Jagger approved of this campaign for $12 Million!
And that was a joke response. He wasn’t interested in licensing the song.
@@b3ans4eva Well, it got licensed and if they did not pay that, then how much if you know?
That seems to be just an urban legend. Microsoft's former vice president Bob Herbold said it was just $ 3M.

Those diverse children looking all have diverse children of their own now.
1 Billion blue screens of death
From Win95 to Win11.
The Rolling Stones should have said, sure we'll take the $3million, in stock. Rough calculation, today it would be worth about $1billion.
Wow, where did you find the original video file with such amazing quality? Lovely ad :P
+Agustín Jerez
It was part of CNET anniversary video. I just cropped this out of it.
The Internet is now a better place. Thanks for sharing! :)
+Kyntteri heh I thought so cnet is like the only one with an actually high quality version of this ad
+Redey1290
Noticed the same. Well obviously at this point anyway :)

Where are the "you make a grown man cry" lyrics???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My grown man cried. He just wanted to keep using his Smith-Corona typewriter.

0:28 gotham? 😂
Improved version: ruclips.net/video/Qc4JbzPqups/видео.htmlsi=hG65ebnr4q9y5wqg 😂
The golden age of computing. When people would use their computer for more than just RUclips
Computers are the devil 😂
It still cool
