Do you remember Microsoft’s custom “softwear,” the Windows Ugly Sweater? Back in 2018, the company sent out a cool Windows 95-themed holiday sweater to lucky influencers and fans but now is your chance to buy it, too. Microsoft has finally announced that you can now buy one for yourself, with the proceeds helping benefit Girls Who Code.

The new #WindowsUglySweater has arrived — and this year it’s supporting a fantastic cause!

Get yours today (they disappear fast!) and you’ll be supporting @GirlsWhoCode when you do. Good deal, isn’t knit? ????

Available via the Xbox Gear store, you can now pick up the last three Windows Ugly Sweaters online. The first from 2018 features the Windows 95 logo and colors, the second from last year the Windows XP colors, and this year’s is Microsoft Paint. All three are up in the store for prices around $60, and purchases from the sale will help benefit the charity, Girls Who Code. However, it does look as though Microsoft is having a hard time keeping stock. Many sizes are already sold out, so it’s best to act fast.

What do you think of this custom softwear? Will you pick it up for yourself or your family? Let us know in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
