New Windows 386 supports multitasking, cool


Recommended Posts

Maybe NI should take an example from this marketing video for Windows 386 as an example of how to promote multicore processing. Be patient, it get freaky towards the middle.

There is some pretty interesting commentary about the making of this video in Larry Osterman's weblog.

Another little bit of trivia is that the lead actress, Victoria Carver, also was the madam in a 1970's skinflik "The Godson" (check out the plot keywords...). No wonder I felt like this was the start of an 80's porno... I almost felt dirty after watching it! Wuh wuh Windows? :o

Very enjoyable :)

Reminds me of those "good old days" when the Soviets were the enemy and LabVIEW was bigger on the Macintosh than on the PC.
