If you’ve been using Windows for a while, chances are that you’ve heard that the developers of the various Windows versions had hidden Easter Eggs inside the operating systems. As you know, an Easter Egg is a small program that is hidden deep inside of an application and is designed by the application’s developers as a way of displaying their names—very similar to the credits that you see at the end of a movie. While the practice has long since been forbidden, back in their heyday, Microsoft’s developers created some really elaborate Easter Eggs.

In this gallery, I’ll show you the Easter Eggs that they embedded into the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
