It’s no Joke – Microsoft is in the Tee Shirt Business
Posted 03/07/09 at 04:27:24 PM by Justin Kerr
When we first broke this story, though it came from a credible source, it was a bit hard to believe. Microsoft is in the software business, so what is all this talk about softwear? Turns out it’s all true and the official Microsoft website for the product line has now launched. The project is being managed in collaboration with thinkcommon.com, and the designs certainly are… interesting.
The majority of the shirts are tributes to the olden days of MS-DOS, but my personal favorite is “The Misdemeanor”. This classy tee (shown above) sports Bill Gate’s mug shot, and is sure to make you a hit at parties (not guaranteed by me or Microsoft). The shirts supposedly retail for a very reasonable $10, and the website can help you find a store near you.
So is this brilliant marketing or painful to look at?

Why does all the text on that site have the exact font from the Commodore 64?
I know Microsoft wrote the version of Basic used in the C=64, but they didn't design the default font.

I do think this is a interesting move on Microsoft's part.
