The team behind Windows NT sent ‘black cardboard coffins’ and fake dog poop to their rivals back in the 90s, because nerds

Dave Plummer and Dave Cutler discussed a humorous incident from the late 1990s involving the rivalry between Microsoft and Sun Microsystems. Cutler recounted how they sent black cardboard coffins to Scott McNealy and Lee Reiswig as a playful gesture, accompanied by a birthday card that played the "Death March." They also included fake dog feces in the box as a response to Sun's advertising antics, where McNealy's dog urinated on a fire hydrant with the Microsoft logo. Cutler mentioned a third coffin intended for another tech figure, possibly Larry Ellison, which was never sent.
