How Microsoft’s legal eagles wrangled Happy Days for Windows 95

Microsoft's legal team was responsible for securing permissions from the cast of the television series Happy Days to feature a Weezer music video on the installation CD of Windows 95. The music video, "Buddy Holly," was included to showcase the multimedia capabilities of the new operating system, which supported 32-bit processing and video playback. Microsoft negotiated rights with Geffen Records, and the band members were initially unaware of the arrangement. Despite concerns about their music being associated with software, the band later recognized the promotional benefits from Windows 95's sales. Additionally, obtaining video permissions from the actors in Happy Days posed a challenge for Microsoft's legal team.
