After first seeing Microsoft's slogan for its upcoming Windows XP operating system, "it just works," I couldn't help wondering: what were the slogans for all the previous releases? After thinking about it for a while, they became obvious.

• Windows 1.0:
  Good joke, eh?
• Windows 2.0:
  Still funny, isn't it?
• Windows 286:
  Yeah, we're still kidding.
• Windows 386:
  Going boldly where Desqview has been for years.
• Windows 3.0:
  It's finally worth buying!
• Windows 3.1:
  It's finally worth using!
• Windows 95:
  Going boldly where the Mac has been for years.
• Windows 98:
  More usable! Less stable!
• Windows 98SE:
  More stable! Less usable!
• Windows ME:
  Less usable AND less stable!
• NT 1.0:
  Give me more hardware! NOW!!!
• NT 2.0:
  Darn it, I said MORE HARDWARE!!! NOW!!!!
• NT 3.0:
  Which part of "more hardware" do you not understand?
• NT 3.5:
  With enough hardware, I'd work. Honest.
• NT 4.0:
  Does less than Win98 with twice the hardware at one-half the speed.
• Windows 2K:
  Works almost as well as Windows 98! Honest!
• Windows XP:
  It just works.
