I have Office 95 Professional. It shipped with Win95. And included a 
coupon for getting Access 95, which was not released until Winter 
1996 (it was actually finished in Nov. 95, but not widely available 
through distribution channels until after the first of the year; I 
know this because I purchased a new PC that was shipped Jan. 7th, 
1996).

So, it's perfectly possible to have a box that was purchased in one 
year that doesn't include what it says it includes!
