Apparently before Jennifer Aniston was known for carrying her beloved BlackBerry around with her everywhere she goes, she had a brief stint as a promo girl for Microsoft. Molly found this hilarious promotional instructional Windows 95 video starring Aniston and Matthew Perry, which must have been made soon after Friends first aired. It features Aniston and Perry taking a tour of Bill Gates' office, or what Perry calls "Ground Zero of personal computing - the nerve center of the world's biggest software company." Predictably, Aniston plays the "goof" who learns how to launch programs and upgrade to Windows 95, which she says is "easier than changing your dry cleaner." Also prominent, the signature Rachael do. It's too wonderful people, too wonderful.

brilliant!
3Oh my god: This is hilarious!! The humor is so bad; I'm so embarrassed for them. It just makes you remember how hugely hyped Windows 95 was when it came out.
4Wow. That is all I have to say, is wow.
5I SOOOO remember Windows 95. I was in my Sophomore year at college and my roommate had a PC. We were all so excited to be able to use her computer. That was also the year I got addicted to the internet!
6Funny!
7Microsoft came to my college and filmed a segment on our instructor who was teaching graphics on Window's 95. Back then it was a big deal as nobody was doing graphics on PC's. I got to say the line "how to you get to Photoshop?". LOL! It turned out to be like a half hour infomercial that actually showed on a major network during prime time.
That's my confession of the day, my mac friends would disown me if they new
8Wow... this helps remind me why I use a mac...

10HAHA! That's so great.
11Ehhh! So cute and embarrassing!
12LOL! Wow, that's so cool... I've seen it before, I loved her and Matthew in it!
I think this was the instructional video that came with your purchase of Windows '95
13That's why she has "The Rachel" hair do.
Cool site, i will come back here, regards
14Holy crap I watched about 6 minutes of the first one. People think this is funny? It's just pure annoying, no humor to it at all.
15i love how in the video they described windows explorer as file manager on steroids, like it was a good thing! maybe they were trying to warn us about windows instability
16Your knowledge is impressive, i find your blog very interesting
