They corroborate your story, but seem to be carrying a text only version that claims to be Windows 1.0, who asks in a wheeze where 2 is. Windows 2.1 hides their face and pretends not to notice as they walk away, but they awkwardly trip over Office 365 in the process.

Between Millennium Edition and 2000, Microsoft had two versions of windows simultaneously named in reference to the new century, but with different underlying technology and no way for average users to determine which was better (hint: not the one they marketed to average users.)
