[Breezey]

Pmsl, nobody will buy this.

[Tidus]

A good way for Microsoft to make more money, this is probably aimed at the fan boys who'd like to walk around advertising for microsoft.

[GheeTsar]

Just how geeky would you have to be to buy and wear one of those?

[0iD]

Should be called "Togs for Tards"

I didn't know Microsoft had any fan boys ;P

[Fraz]

Fail.

Whats with all the hating, they aren't that bad. I've seen worse.

I think they should try and focus their resources at things that really matter like improvin their new OS instead of designing clothes...

...the 80's styling provides a geeky sense of chic.

For that to be true, the brand in question would have to have some actual geek-chic in the first place (like why everyone was wearing T-shirts with the original Atari logo for a while not that long ago). Microsoft has precisely none of this whatsoever.

Wearing one of these things for anything other than, say, redecorating the spare room is inviting a public stoning.

You haven't tried Windows 7 have you?

[Infinite]

I have seen people in my uni wear apple and java t-shirts... so you know...

[dave87]

The one in the example looks like a cheap blue shirt with a crappy logo on it?


I can understand it if it was a witty quote or something - Nintendo one springs to mind - but I would need to be paid to be a walking billboard.

[adder]

maybe they are thinking ahead, and planning what they might do.

[jim]

Mmm nice. Maybe they should give one away free with every copy of Windows 7, I could put it alongside my "The Gamer's Choice" top in the drawer.
