Return to the Days of DOS with Retrowear from Microsoft (Yes, Microsoft!)
Posted 12/08/08 at 12:01:17 PM by Mark Edward Soper

Advertising Age (via Cnet) reports that Microsoft and rapper Common are teaming up with ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky to put classic Microsoft imagery from the '80s and modern remixes on T-shirts. Yes, the line will be called "Softwear by Microsoft."
The first two designs unveiled bring back memories of MS-DOS (if you've forgotten all the DOS you ever learned, be sure to see our 50 Skills Every Real Geek Should Have article for a refresher) and the days when MicroSoft was two words. You can see more designs, including Common's remixes, at the Softwear by Microsoft website.
So, how about it, Redmond fanboys (and fangirls)? Are you going to embrace your roots, or do these designs make you hit your reset button? Hit Comment and tell us what you think.

Urban hipsters wearing t-shirts with corporate logos from the 70s is annoying. Geeks with old M$ marketing spew would be almost as bad..
