In (late) 1995 Microsoft launched its Windows95 product to the tune of the Rolling Stones' START ME UP.

Now a concerned "Oceanian" launches windows1984.com. The question is: Will Microsoft SHUT ME DOWN?

The aim of this website is to draw attention to issues, particularly those related to personal computer use, which threaten to bring us closer to the dystopian nightmare of George Orwell's novel, 1984. (hint: Palladium)

Unofficially, the site is in post-release beta, but so were the Microsoft Windows products for over a decade.
