Pictures: Ballmer Signing Windows 7 Gold Disc

Marcus Yam served as Tom's Hardware News Director during 2008-2014. He entered tech media in the late 90s and fondly remembers the days when an overclocked Celeron 300A and Voodoo2 SLI comprised a gaming rig with the ultimate street cred.

    im surprised theres no pictures of them bumping chests and grunting at eachother.

    seriously tho, its a nice feather in microsofts hat. 'we've sold more copies of win7 than vista... and win7 isnt even out yet.' (thats not a real quote.)

    Balmer is a salesman genious thats why. To believe you could get Windows 3.1 for not $1000 but only $100.
