Microsoft was a computer technology corporation headquartered in Washington.
History[]
In 1991, Chris Deschaines' father ran a Burgers 'N' Borscht pop-up near Microsoft's campus. However, Microsoft folded that same year, a victim of post-11/2 technophobia, which coincided with the broader collapse of Silicon Valley.[1]
Trivia[]
- In the alternate timeline of Watchmen's universe, Adrian Veidt's actions resulted in a society deeply entrenched in technophobia. This fear was catalyzed by the belief that emerging technology was responsible for bringing the transdimensional "alien" to Earth and the subsequent recall of all Doctor Manhattan-based products powered by lithium. As a consequence, major technology companies like Microsoft collapsed, leading to the absence of real-world innovations such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops.
