The image shows a vintage Altair 8800 computer with the text "An Original Linus Tech Tips Build" and "Altair 8800 Sleeper." The image highlights a classic piece of computing history, the Altair 8800, known for being one of the first personal computers.

The year: 1975. The rig: Altair 8800.

The surprise? It’s hiding more power than you'd expect.

We teamed up with Linus Tech Tips to build the ultimate sleeper PC for Microsoft’s 50th.

Two World of Warcraft-themed champagne flutes sit on a wooden surface in the sun, each filled with a light yellow drink. One glass is labeled “Dragonflight 11.28.22,” and the other is labeled “Wrath of the Lich King Classic.” A speaker and greenery are visible in the background.

Felt like the perfect day to pull out the ol’ game launch flutes.

Box art for Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Enterprise Edition featuring a colorful, interlocking ribbon-like logo in red, yellow, green, and blue. The box includes text indicating system requirements: 'Requires Windows 95 or Windows NT.' Below that is the Microsoft Visual Studio logo with a CD-ROM icon next to it. The text 'Development System for Windows and the Internet' is also present. The right side lists included components: Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual J++, Microsoft Visual FoxPro, Microsoft Visual InterDev, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Transaction Server, and SQL Server.

Visual Studio turned 28 this week. Here's a throwback to its original box art.
