Found a cool article over at Wired News. Mentions some books (and movies) I’ve not read that involve Microsoft Windows or Microsoft the corporation.
References to Windows in Science Fiction
I consider Microsoft Windows to be a thing of “terrible beauty,” a phrase the Irish poet W.B. Yeats invented to describe how the British crushed an Irish rebellion. I hate it; I am disturbed by it; but I cannot deny that Windows is a thing of great power that has changed the world. And I know Windows will be affecting computer networks for decades to come. Probably in a bad way. In honor of today’s release of Windows Vista, the latest incarnation of the world-eating operating system, let us consider a few notable references to the future of Windows in science fiction.
