Did you know:
The pre-launch code name for Microsoft Bob was "Utopia," and, Microsoft considered names such as Essential Home and Home Base for the new product. They ultimately used Bob, to better reflect the social and friendly nature of the software package.
Microsoft held a big advertising campaign and loaded up stores with copies of Bob expecting huge sales. It totally flopped.
Released in March 1995
Melinda Gates (then wife of Bill Gates) was marketing manager for the product
