Windows 95's 'Naked Baby' Hologram: A Collector's Item
Windows brings out the Rorschach test in everyone
Raymond Chen recalls how a government complained that the Windows 95 box hologram depicted a naked baby, forcing Microsoft to redesign it. The original hologram, showing a shirtless infant, became a collector's item. Chen also mentions other subliminal complaints about Windows 95 and XP, including a wallpaper resembling buttocks and a user icon resembling Hitler, questioning the mental state of beta testers.
If the baby in your hologram isn’t wearing a shirt, you have a genuine collector’s item.
