25 Years Ago Today Bill Gates Lit The World On Fire At The Launch Of Windows 95

There are certain moments in pop culture you remember. You remember when Britney Spears attacked a car with her umbrella, you remember when Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's boob out at the Super Bowl, you the remember the green Versace dress JLo wore to the Grammys. But one that flies under the radar is this- the Windows 95 launch party complete with Jay Leno, 'Start Me Up' by The Rolling Stones, and a gang of nerds dancing around on stage to celebrate its launch. If you've never seen the video, buckle up because it's a doozy. Here it is...

Laugh all you want but at the end of the day they're worth $200 billion and you're not. I don't think I would do the video justice if I tried to break it down, so I'm going to let Mike Camerlengo do it for me...

Incredible. Oh and this was technically 25 years ago yesterday but who cares. The intro was just as good as the dancing so make sure to check that out too. Just wanted to share this special moment in history with you. If you're reading this and still don't know what Windows 95 is consider yourself lucky. It. was. a. nightmare. That's it for this one. Bye.
