Windows 98 is Plug and … Whoa?

During the COMDEX Spring ’98 and Windows World shows in Chicago, a public demonstration of the soon-to-be-released Windows 98 goes awry when Bill Gates’ assistant causes the operating system to crash after plugging in a scanner. Instead of showing the plug-and-play capabilities, they were trying to demonstrate, a “Blue Screen of Death” is visible to the entire audience which immediately erupts in laughter. After several seconds, Bill Gates famously responded, “That must be why we’re not shipping Windows 98 yet.”

Mr. Gates was attempting to demonstrate its support for the new hardware technology, the Universal Serial Bus.

It is provided through a feature known as ‘plug and play’ – lampooned by its critics as ‘plug and pray’ when it was first introduced in Windows 95.
