Microsoft Bob is a Microsoft software product that was released in March 10, 1995 and discontinued in early 1996. The program was intended to provide a more user-friendly interface for the Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems, supplanting the Windows Program Manager. Microsoft Bob presented screens showing a "house", with "rooms" that the user could go to containing familiar objects corresponding to computer applications—for instance, a desk with pen and paper, a checkbook, and other items. In this case, clicking on the pen and paper would open the word processor.
A cartoon dog named Rover and other cartoon characters provided guidance using speech balloons.
Microsoft Bob was greatly criticized in the press, did not gain wide acceptance with users, and was not a successful nor long-lived product.
Microsoft Bob was released in March 1995 (before Windows 95 was released), although it had been widely publicized prior to that date under the codename "Utopia". The project leader for Bob was Karen Fries, a Microsoft researcher. The design was based on research by Professors Clifford Nass and Byron Reeves of Stanford University. At one point, Bill Gates's wife Melinda Gates worked as one of the Marketing Managers on the project. Microsoft originally purchased the domain name bob.com from Boston-area techie Bob Antia, but later traded it to Bob Kerstein for the windows2000.com domain name.
Microsoft Corporation /ˈmaɪkrəˌsɒft, -roʊ-, -ˌsɔːft/ (commonly referred to as Microsoft) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, Microsoft Office office suite, and Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers. Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox game consoles and the Microsoft Surface tablet lineup. It is the world's largest software maker by revenue, and one of the world's most valuable companies.
Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows. The company's 1986 initial public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in its largest acquisition to date.
In filmmaking, visual effects (abbreviated VFX) are the processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot. Visual effects involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using computer generated imagery have recently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and easy-to-use animation and compositing software.
Visual effects are often integral to a movie's story and appeal. Although most visual effects work is completed during post-production, it usually must be carefully planned and choreographed in pre-production and production. Visual effects primarily executed in Post-Production with the use of multiple tools and technologies such as graphic design, modeling, animation and similar software, while special effects such as explosions and car chases are made on set. A visual effects supervisor is usually involved with the production from an early stage to work closely with production and the film's director design, guide and lead the teams required to achieve the desired effects.

What is Microsoft BOB? In this Youtube exclusive I'll show you one of Microsoft's failed experiments with alternative user interfaces.
Before Windows 95 was released, Microsoft had another software program in the works that was designed to make computers easier to use for the novice user. It was released as Microsoft Bob a few months before Windows 95 came out. Bob's interface was designed as a home with rooms that was intended to make users relate to programs and objects more easily. While it may have included some pretty interesting features, it was a commercial failure because it was not accepted very well by consumers. This was mainly due to the fact that the personal guides ask a lot of questions and ask to confirm everything. ========================================== Since this video came out to be an hour long, I have decided to split it up into 2 parts to make it a little easier for you all to watch. Part 2: htt...

Windows 3.1 was a little hard to use for my mum just like it was for those who used it in 1992-1995. So it was time for microsoft to make a revolutionary interface to make using the computer as easy as doing tasks in your home. Microsoft released microsoft BOB in 1995 which absolutly flopped. Why did microsoft BOB fail? Well, here's a first hand, unbaised/unleaded users first time attempt with bob. My mum was told that it was designed to make using the computer super easy but I didn't exactly tell her if the product was successful or not. Lets see if history repeats itself! Tasks Given: - What time is it? - Write and save a text document. - What's 48*32 - Customize the way your computer looks - Turn of your computer
This is by far the worst computer program ever made! (btw. Doesn't look Rover, the dog, familiar? It seems MS re-used him in WinXP)
In diesem VideoTutorial ein nicht ganz ernst gemeinter Versuch die Software Microsoft BOB, Microsoft Alternative für einen benutzerfreundlichen Desktop, vorzustellen.
Set to launch on startup for this video, I launch Firefox, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Pidgin, GIMP, and OpenOffice in Microsoft Bob. Another video with the actual launch of the program from within Windows will be made later. Created using Microsoft Windows Media Encoder (which is why audio is messed up in iTunes. There are no good free third party screencast applications out there that support audio). I have a ZIP file containing the software on my SkyDrive. Here is a link: http://bit.ly/9FdTmL More Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob

This is the first in a series of classic poetry inspired films. The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water rats; There we've hid our faery vats, Full of berrys And of reddest stolen cherries. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim gray sands with light, Far off by furthest Rosses We foot it all the night, Weaving olden dances Mingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight; To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And anxious in its sleep. Come away, O human child!...
