CELEBRATE THE NEW MSN INSTALL TODAY! MSN LIMITED EDITION GOLD CD Bill Gates Steven A Ballmer Paul Allen Released January 2004 • 24Kt Gold Plated msn.

What it means

A gold-colored MSN installation CD is presented like a luxurious commemorative disc, complete with signatures from Bill Gates, Steven A. Ballmer, and Paul Allen. The joke is the absurdly grand presentation of outdated software, treating an MSN install disc as a prestigious collector’s item. It is used as a nostalgic or ironic reaction to early-2000s internet culture and obsolete technology.
