Microsoft recently unveiled their new ugly sweater for the upcoming holiday season, which is sure to be a hit with fans of Windows XP. It seems there is a significant demand for these sweaters, given the enduring popularity of the Windows XP operating system.
The design of the sweater features a stylized version of the iconic Bliss (default) wallpaper for Windows XP, with fluffy blue clouds in the sky, a green landscape, and an oversized mouse cursor – a playful homage to the operating system.
The sweater is available for purchase through the Xbox Gear Shop for $70 and can be shipped internationally. However, it’s worth noting that the most common sizes are already sold out. Microsoft has advised that more inventory may become available in the future.
Notably, a portion of the proceeds from the sweater sales will go to The Nature Conservancy, a charitable organization focused on environmental conservation and combating climate change.
Microsoft’s holiday sweaters have gained popularity in recent years, with previous designs featuring Clippy and a Windows 95 theme. While the new Windows XP sweater has resonated with fans, some have expressed disappointment with the limited availability of sizes.
Overall, this latest holiday sweater from Microsoft is a creative and playful take on a nostalgic Windows design, sure to be a hit among fans.
