Windows 95 was the next-generation OS from Microsoft: redesigned UI, long
file names support, 32-bit apps and many other changes. Some of Windows 95 components are still in use today. How does it look? Let s test it and figure
it out[1].
It s always fun to dive back into old operating systems we used to use every
day. Windows 95 is such a monumental release, and one that changed the face of
computing overnight. It turned an already massive computer company into one of
the largest, most powerful companies in the world, and its influence on how desktop and laptop user interfaces work today can be seen everywhere.
Windows 95 also happens to be delightfully pleasant to look at, especially taking into account the jumbled, chaotic mess of a user interface Windows has
become today.

Port 80 is overrated.
Delightful as it was to look at for everyone (compared to DOS), it was also terribly crash prone, not that we cared a lot back then, I mean we the kids... not the adults losing a few hours work on spreadsheets, of course.
I miss a lot more Windows 2k with hindsight, same useful menus and windows as Windows 95/98, same huge library of applications (more in fact), more hardware compatibility and a lot less crashing.
