RoboCop & Microsoft

by admin on August 17, 2008

So, I was watching RoboCop last night, and I noticed something a little peculiar. During the scenes where RoboCop is being tested before use, his prompt screen shows some MS-DOS like boot sequences. Here, check this out:

RoboCop's Boot Screen

For those of you who don’t immediately see what I’m talking about, look at the lines on the screen ‘command.com’, ‘config.sys’, ‘bio.com’, ‘comspec.exe’, and ‘memory.dat’. Those are all very MS-DOS like files that run under typically Windows operating systems.

Seems appropriate, I suppose. Just think about it: “Police states of the future choose Microsoft!”
