Where can I get a copy of Microsoft Bob?

[sgopal2]

No joke,

I want to get a copy...does anyone know where I can get a copy of the infamous Microsoft operating system named "Bob"??

TIA

I think it's sold as a bundle with Microsoft Bill.

Heh, I remember that... it was a little like Packard Bell Navigator. I doubt anyone remembers that though...

Dunno, but I found this...



<< System requirements for Bob are top of the line.

It works with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, the new operating system scheduled for release in August, on computer systems with 486 or higher processors and eight megabytes of memory. >>

You could always try ebay or look for a download on google

Are you doing a research on "failed software"?

 

[Aves]

Currently at $7.20 on ebay

You can search on abandonware sites.

Most abandonware sites concentrate on games, but some have applications as well.

Search for "abandonware appz" on google.

 

MS Bob is a glorified address and calendar book.

Next was Microsoft BOOB, the integrated adult media player that failed just as miserably.

You have been warned... :Q

Now I understand why those people are flying in the WinXP ads - they trying to get away from BOB!!!!

Beware Of Bob!

Yep, I remember the ass-tacular Navigator - it was the first software I removed from my PB six years ago...

Looks like it would be great for my kids

I do too. I had to read a little to jog my memory cause I was thinking it was older than that... I remember too much, like the days that playing with one of the Vic20s in my basement was the "cool thing to do" while listening to REO Speedwagon and drinking Tab.
