If you’ve always wanted to wander the streets with the Windows XP bliss wallpaper strapped to your back, now is your time. The famous blue sky and green hill are emblazoned on a mustard or black tee, available for $60.
The nine-piece collection of T-shirts, hats, sweats, jackets, and pants is part of a collaboration between Supervsn founder Gavin Mathieu and Microsoft. It’s Microsoft’s first capsule collection of clothing and merchandise, and the software maker clearly wanted to create a trendy nerd vibe with its collaboration.
Microsoft has been selling Xbox-branded clothing for years, and the company also sells a range of garments at its company store. Microsoft even started selling its ugly Windows sweaters in 2020, with MS Paint, Windows XP, Windows 95, and Minesweeper ones available previously.

My gripe: where is Minesweeper? With all the bloatware MS includes in it's "service" why not that?

My gripe: where is Minesweeper? With all the bloatware MS includes in it's "service" why not that? Psst. Open Microsoft Store, search for "minesweeper."
Microsoft Minesweeper is a free download...

...and when the shirt inevitably fails, you have to take it off and put it back on.

I prefer to spend my hard-earned money on this "blue screen of death" shirt as I have seen it many times....
Microsoft sucks and its logo should be the "blue screen of death."

If it said “Microsoft XP Never Worked”, I might buy it, but not for 60 bucks!

$60 for a T-shirt is nuts. Heck, they pay us for wearing their advertising!

Great tip. Thank you. Don't thank me too much. You have to suffer through ads if you don't want to pay the $1.99 monthly subscription fee.

I’ve got plenty of toilet paper and it didn’t cost 60 bucks...

The really neat part of that T-shirt failure is that it entirely turns a bright blue and, if you happen be wearing it at the time, you turn blue as well...
However, there will be a help desk telephone number provided for you:
