1. In 1995, Microsoft needed to find a way to explain its game changing new operating system, Windows 95. The solution was simple, create an instructional video to include with every copy of Windows 95.

2. To make the Windows 95 instructional video entertaining, Microsoft hired Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston to star in "the world's first cyber sitcom."

3. So what is the hilarious premise of "the world's first cyber sitcom"? It's Jen and Matthew taking a wacky tour of Bill Gates' office.

Also, I don't know why, but there's "Seinfeld" noise every time there's a joke.
6. Matthew points out that you send emails over the Internet, as we find out that "communicating online is the hot thing right now."

7. They even have a computer geek come in to help them explore The Microsoft Network. Jen describes the Internet as "issue specific party lines."
