The songs of the Rolling Stones that Microsoft didn't use for the Windows95 trailers

You may all remember well the song that accompanied the introduction of Windows95. Microsoft Corporation picked a song of the Rolling Stones and licenced it for their campaign: "Start me up".
The song was chosen to portrait one of the most "useful" new features of Windows95: the "revolutionary" technology of the START button.
(Which of course is revolutionary! Where else do you have to press the START button to shut something down? *bg*)
Well, there could but have been songs that had fit better to this program:
  • Just My Imagination

  • I'm Going Down

  • Let It Bleed

  • Gimme Shelter

  • Bitch

  • Shattered

  • Play With Fire

  • (I can't get no) Satisfaction

  • You Can't Always Get What you Want
... and the No. 1 song to fit this program of Microsoft (and any other just as well...)
  1. 19th Nervous Breakdown
