@requiem I feel like would have loved the MSX at the time it was relevant but it basically didn't exist in the US so I only learned about it after the fact. Sony and Microsoft a proprietary match made in heaven lol. I have such a love hate relationship with Sony. I hate their tendency towards proprietary but DANG their designs are good and high quality.

@requiem Yes! I know what you mean. It is kind of fun discovering these whole sections of new to me vintage computers. MSX, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum.

@requiem MSX is the standard the computers needed to conform to. Microsoft didn't actually manufacture any hardware. AFAICT, later revisions to the specification, like MSX2, were agreed on by the actual computer manufacturers, and MS wasn't involved with those except insofar as it needing to be backwards compatible.

@vertigo @requiem I'm trying to find out but can't discover if they were involved with the MSX2 and later revisions of BASIC, or if it was expanded by other parties

@kazriko Yes, I know but the model in the photo that was posted was by Sony.
