Diana using Microsoft BOB

People struggled to use Windows 3.11 so Microsoft invented Microsoft BOB. It uses a virtual home and some virtual items to make using a computer easier for new users.

OS Info

This operating system is dependent on either Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, depending on which OS is installed. The OS was only supported for a few months though and was not widely accepted as an operating system. Hilariously, this operating system was bundled with some Gateway 2000 computers in the 90s. This version was modified to contain more features and additional rooms. The last build was version 1.00a, only released 5 months after initial release of the OS.

Diana's Review:

At first Diana liked it but soon got VERY annoyed when she attempted to type a letter and the dog kept on asking her all this stuff!
