I worked at WebTV before it was public… back when it was called Artemis Research and had a website that proclaimed we did research in sleep deprivation of rabbits (there was a pet bunny rabbit that wandered the office, occasionally making a mess of things).

I love how wonderfully weird the web was back then! Such a different world; so hard to explain today to those who didn’t know it. And an incredibly talented team.

WebTV became the foundation for Microsofts hardware biz, and is responsible for the Xbox. If you go back farther. Artemis was responible for the Xband modem and is largely repsonsible for online gaming as a whole.
But most importantly how's the bunnies?
