When Microsoft releases a new version of Windows, it's a big deal. But on Monday, the company teased the release of Windows 1.0. Saying that the announcement confused people is an understatement.
Microsoft tweeted and posted on Instagram a 13-second video about its "new" Windows 1.0 operating system. The video has an '80s look and displays the logos for previous versions of the software, ending with the original logo for 1.0.
"Introducing the all-new Windows 1.0, with MS-Dos Executive, Clock, and more," tweeted the Windows maker.
Microsoft declined to comment. But the video itself and the release date give some hint that this could be a tie-in with Stranger Things season 3, which premieres Thursday.
The company's first graphical user interface (GUI) came out on November 20, 1985, which is the same year that the third season of the Netflix original series takes place. Microsoft's video has distinct graphics and music that come off as classic, cheesy '80s.
A later Microsoft tweet promises: "It's going to be totally tubular!"
