If you don't know what an easter egg is, it is here:
In the context of software (get that Cadbury Bunny out of your head!), an Easter Egg is a hidden feature or novelty that the programmers have put in their software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining thing that a creator hides in their creation only for their own personal reasons. This can be anything from a hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands, to jokes, to funny animations. You'd be surprised just how many things contain Easter Eggs... just look at the list that has accumulated here! A true Easter Egg must satisfy the following criteria: Undocumented, Hidden, and Non-Obvious An Easter Egg can't be a legitimate feature of a product, or be an obvious part of a storyline. Easter Eggs will usually stand out either because they totally don't fit with their context (like a pinball game in a word processor), or because they have a deeper hidden personal meaning to the creators, so they threw it in for entertainment. Reproducible Every user with the same product or combination of products must be able to produce the same result given the instructions. If others can't reproduce an Egg, then it doesn't belong in this archive. Put There by the Creators for Personal Reasons The Egg must have been put there on purpose, and furthermore have a personal significance to the creators beyond just making a better product (movie, TV show, software program, etc). Not Malicious Easter Eggs are there for fun, not to do damage. ENTERTAINING! The most important element... if it's not there for entertainment, it's not an Egg.

3. "The Ring" DVD has an easter egg in it |
|
You'll watch the killer tape and at the end your phone rings. BTW, you can't stop it once it starts The cursed "video" is available as an easter egg on the DVD. Select look here and press down and your cursor will disappear. Press enter. This has an interesting feature; your remote control is disabled. Once the "video" has started playing, you can't stop it, pause it, fast-forward it, or return to the menu. Unless you turn off the TV, you're forced to watch the whole thing. When it's over, the DVD returns to the menu, then you hear a phone ring twice before you're given control over your remote again.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298130/trivia

The Desktop Wallpaper "Autumn" has a 5.0 written in the leaves. It's fairly obvious once you've seen it....stands for NT 5.0
PS: It's in the center of the leaves (where the road shows)
