Fans discuss whether Jerry's apartment featured Windows 95 packaging and a PC, debating if he's switching from his PowerBook Mac or if he could be running SoftWindows emulation software.

Did anybody notice that in the last night episode ("The Bra") Jerry had a PC instead of Mac and he also had a copy of Windows 95 on his table? I had a glimpse of Windows 95 box in some episode in this season, but yesterday I saw it clearly. What is it, Bill's dream of 'Windows Anywhere' becoming a reality?

BTW, I think Elaine was pretty good in this episode.

WHAT! Did really Jerry have a copy of 'buggy' Windows 95 on his table???

Well, I don't think that that episode has been on Norwegian TV yet, since they just started sending again after a (TO LONG) break, but I don't think that Jerry should support Microsoft in that way..

I wonder how much money he got from Bad Bill for doing this...

Anyway, Jerry RULEZ! but Kramer RULEZ more!

Fear not my fellow Mac fans.

Yes, that box on Jerrys desk did in fact contain Windows 95 BUT....

Look at the computer. It's still the PowerBook Duo he's had for a couple of seasons. Guess he's running SoftWindows or something...

Makes you wonder though. I'm keeping an eye on that Mac. Jerry may go Win-tell yet. (hope not!)

PHEW!

Well, I did think I saw the sacrileguios box of Win 95 on the desk and wondered 'What the...' (well, it just a very quick glimpse).

Although you can run Win 95 on Macs (I don't see why anyone would want to)

Windows 95: proof that you can be 10 years late and still get most of the credit.

Actually, you can probably blame NBC for the "MS Bob Pro" box. Remember that they are teaming up with the Redmond 'Softies for a news service and that NBC pulled their AOL section in favor of a similar MSN site. Lastly, remember that Brokaw - Gates lovefest called "Tycoon"?

Blame NBC.

I noticed in last Thursday's episode, where Elaines old friend wears a bra as a top, that in Jerry's appartment on the bookshelf beside the computer there was a book/box that had the Microsoft Windows 95 logo on it.

The computer also looked a little different.

I only wish he would wise up and switch to OS/2!!

Yes, Jerry DID change to PC (for awhile, anyways...)

Stop this, please!

Bill Gates is a God, the NBC and MS is going to give NBC even a bigger edge on graphics....

I too noticed the Windows 95 box, but I don't think that the computer changed. It looked to be the same Macintosh DuoDock system that he's had since last season. That makes things even stranger, because Win95 wouldn't run on it.

At one point last season, soon after the Duo appeared, they went to what looked like a Wintel PC, but then went back to the Mac.

He never uses it anyway.
