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.

Microsoft sucks and its logo should be the "blue screen of death."

I was going to post that, but your pic is much better than the one I had ready.

A 60$ T-shirt. Wtf?
When T-shirts get that high?

OMFG, I spewed my drink when I read that the dipsh*t that attacked the bodega worker was wearing a 300$ T-shirt! Holy crap.

Like hell they will.

Offer me $60 to wear it and we'll talk.

None of which diminishes the fact that Windows XP was the last Microsoft product that sold itself. Everything else was forced on the public through blackmail, extortion, or dumping.
