Is this why there was a copy of Weezer’s Buddy Holly music video was on there too?

IIRC that was the Windows 95 CD, not XP. Wikipedia seems to agree:

  • Missed the part about XP. Question still applies to the 95 disk.

    • The videos showed off Windows 95' multimedia prowess.

      "Why did the Windows 95 CD have extra fun stuff, like the Good Times and Buddy Holly music videos, the Rob Roy trailer, and the cartoons by Bill Plympton? Because it was fun! Why does one have to justify having fun? In addition to the multimedia fun, there was also video game fun, with the addition of Pinball and the mercifully-forgotten hovercraft game Hover! (Some of us thought it was so awful, we secretly called it Hoover!)" -- Raymond Chen
