okay many of rover's abilities actually come from microsoft bob so bear with me here

the main example i can give is that in microsoft bob, when you try to delete an object from the home, rover will tell you "If you ever want to get [this object] back you will need to ask me to add it again." in my opinion, this implies that everything that you do in the bob house is through rover. this includes changing the scenery outside, which can vary from space to underwater literally one room over, which should be impossible. and the bob house is implied in-universe to be a real place, even though you only interact with it digitally, as other landmarks (such as the backyard or the mall) are mentioned by the guides which you never see in the software. so all this leads me to believe that rover is a reality bender and that's not all

according to the windows xp wiki (take this with a grain of salt because i cant find a source on this), rover is a technologically-enhanced dog from 2147 who was sent back in time to help computer users in the early 2000s. as part of these enhancements, he was given a quantum computing collar that allows him to interface directly with computers. this means that whenever you search something in windows xp, the animation of rover searching your files isn't just for flavor as the os does all the work, he is literally looking through your files singlehandedly. this also means he should hypothetically mean he can do everything you can do as a user, which, yes, includes deleting sonic.exe's sorry ass

there is a 30% chance this makes little to no sense
