It probably would have been released under its original name of "Interface Manager" if Microsoft's marketing whiz, Rowland Hanson, had not convinced founder Bill Gates that "Windows" was the better name.

7. R Rating assigned to the movie by the MPAA The hysterical "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" received an R Rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, the first for any Disney picture. The remake of the 1932 Jean Renoir film "Boudu Saved By Drowning" included nudity, adult language, and adult situations. The Disney Corporation, ever aware of its public image and reputation, decided to create its adult-oriented Touchstone Films division, now known as Touchstone Pictures, for films it saw as racier or more controversial.

8. Deep Blue. After losing to Kasparov in their first meeting in 1996, IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer defeated Kasparov in less than an hour and in only 19 moves. It was Kasparov's first loss ever, and the first time he had ever conceded defeat. It's understandable when you consider that Deep Blue's Power Two Super Chip (P2SC) processor calculated 200 million moves per second or 36 billion moves for the three minutes that the machine was allowed for thinking. Even more impressive, Kasparov's loss came in the 6th game of the 1997 rematch... the first 5 were all draws.
