There ARE Some Versions Missing
As someone has already noted, Windows Server 2003 IS in the presentation, but there are other version which are missing.

1) I can't remember for sure, but I think some of the versions of 1.x and 2.x are missing. Particularly thinking of 2.x, did Windows/286 and/or Windows/386 have a distinctive splash screen?

2) Standard Windows 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.1 are missing.

3) The Windows 95 splash screen displayed was of OSR2.x (aka 95B/C), which really was a separate version in all but name, just as the later Windows XP SP2 was (and it's in the list). The original Windows 95 and SP1 splash screens did not have "Microsoft Internet Explorer" included in the text. There needs to be a Windows 95 splash screen and a Windows 95 OSR2 splash screen.

There may be more, but I did notice those missing ones.
