    Does anyone know where I can download a copy of Microsoft Bob?

    It may sound kind of silly, but I want to play around in it

    Microsoft Bob is a shell for Windows 3.x and higher that was marketed for the novice user. It gave the computer screen an interface that looked like a room in a house.

    Microsoft Bob was also the beginning of the Office Assistant as there were many characters that would guide you around your "home".

    I have never run it, but everything I have read has said stuff similar to this. I really want to try it and I still can't find it.

    Does it come with Microsoft Office? Do you even know?

    It was released in 1995 as its own program for about $100.

    The only thing about Office is that the Office Assistant was based around the Microsoft Bob guides. Other than that, Office and Bob have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    That's what I'm trying to find out. I have never run it, and I am trying to find it. If anyone knows where Microsoft Bob can be found for download, PLEASE let me know!

    I tryed doing a search for Microsoft Bob at Microsoft.com and didn't find it. I bet Microsoft no longer supports Microsoft Bob.

    seems it has existed. Don't know why you would want it. I don't think it'd be legal to distribute it anyway.
