Random: "Surely They're Trolling" - After The NES-Cart-In-A-SNES Debacle, The BBC Twins Windows 95 With An Apple Mac 1

Update []:

The full segment has now been uploaded to YouTube, and it appears we all owe the BBC an apology.

It turns out interviewee Peter "Nostalgia Nerd" Leigh was responsible for twinning Windows 95 with the Apple Mac, and he did so because Apple "really popularised the graphical user interface" that Microsoft evolved and adapted for Windows.

You can watch the full segment below.


Original Story: Remember the storm in a teacup that was the BBC putting a NES cart in a SNES during one of its segments on retro gaming? Well, the esteemed British broadcaster (or one of its younger researchers, at least) is back with another banger: Windows 95 shown alongside an Apple Macintosh computer.

As spotted by Lost Tourist on social media, the segment was about the 30th anniversary of Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system โ€“ so the inclusion of an original Apple Macintosh SE (released in 1987 and famously incompatible with Windows 95) is a real clanger.

In fact, it's such a glaring error that some are speculating that this has been done on purpose, and whoever is responsible at the BBC is "trolling" the audience.

I'm not so sure โ€“ after all, to anyone who isn't 100% clued up on this kind of thing, one computer looks very much like another โ€“ but let us know what you think by posting a comment below.
