History
Microsoft Sam was actually a normal sentient program back in his early days. He was born in an early beta of Windows 2000 (or NT 5.0), and later he transferred to Speakonia, where he met his friends/siblings/kids, Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary. After hanging out for a while, Sam and Mary started to date, but the relationship did not last, and they broke up. Sam was so depressed that he accidentally walked in front of a truck carrying ROFLcopter fuel, which damaged his right eye, and infected his speech processor, making him say the infamous "soi". Sam and his friends then decided it was time to move away from Speakonia, and ventured into the real world, and that's where they met Thunderbirds101 and many other Text-to-speech officers. They were warmly welcomed aboard the Interview with a YouTuber (IWAY) by Domingo0022, and their adventures began.
Personality
