Microsoft is rewinding the clock to 1975, shag carpet and all, for its 50th anniversary. As part of this year’s Build developer conference in Seattle, the company has unveiled The Original Build, a walk-through installation designed to feel like the exact garage where Microsoft might have been born. Far from just a nostalgia trip, it’s also a showcase of how far tech has come, and how its earliest quirks still spark creative fuel today.
The exhibit—put together by DJE Holdings’ Assembly and experiential design studio Missing Pieces—greets attendees with a full throwback to the company’s first days: wood-paneled walls, clunky CRT monitors, rotary phones, and even a replica Altair 8800.
