5.Instead of "Ta-Da!", the opening sound would be Dueling Banjos

6.The "Recycle Bin" in Winders '95 would be an outhouse

7.Whenever you pulled up the Sound Player you'd hear a digitized drunk

redneck yelling "Freebird!"

8.Instead of "Start Me Up", the Winders '95 theme song would be

Achy-Breaky Heart

9.PowerPoint would be named "ParPawnt"

10.Microsoft's programming tools would be "Vishul Basic" and "Vishul C++"
