Windows 95 should have been released in 93, but was full of bugs. It was then renamed 95, with an expected publish date at the end of 94. Good thing to name a product with year+1: Gives a futuristic taste if published early and a bit of leeway otherwise ;)

I believe it's not an exact replica. To my knowledge, the splash screen's progress bar was introduced with Windows XP [1]. Also were windows flipping like that before opening?
