  "account": "Windows 95 possessed two distinct holograms on its packaging, according to Microsoft's Raymond Chen. One featured a child without a top pointing at Microsoft on a monitor, which led to a government complaint. This prompted Microsoft to alter the hologram, replacing the baby with one wearing a shirt and overalls. Chen revealed this change over two decades later after a YouTube user shared a rare video of the initial hologram. The baby in the original design, presumed to be in their late 30s, likely aged significantly since the hologram's creation. Chen humorously noted that this collector's item may have originated from a government's perceived nudity in the baby's image.",
