Windows 95 release day ( rare photo ) LOLZ
 

18 years ago.

Someone born on that day can legally shoot porn now.

I bet 9~ months from now back then, there was a dip in births as a result of nerds installing this/watching porn.

looks like the apple store.

I still got my certificate I got from training my work sent me to saying I'm a certified Windows 95 Technician

Yes, Windows made computers accessible (by making them more usable) to the masses. Changed history.

they look so happy)

Brings back lots of memories on helping people get their internet connected for the first time. lol

windows 95 still served a huge purpose for the personal computer users who used it and still do. in fact china, which has the largest internet population, still quite commonly use windows 95, 98 and xp still, on old hardware as well. don't knock it.

Win95 was awesome :thumbsup

I forget when it was... maybe in 2006 or so... but I went to Nasa and took the extended tour and one of the places running various screens was ... Windows 95. geezuz!

Anyway, ready for this?



Fast forward to 1:40 and get ready to cringe.

memories...

Great stuff, love nostalgia

Is the OP still scamming people ?

Windows 95 was great until Windows 98 :)

Did anyone ever use OS2 Warp? look it up. Kinda like the good ole days.

friend of mine specialized in that and made still a lot of money years later cause lots of banks, warehouses etc. were running on that

my thoughts exactly when I saw that

this would have been big time to see it the first day.

It was the first real change in Home Computers. Windows 3.1 sucked!

Wow I forgot about OS/2.... I used it for a while but ended up switching back to Windows about a month later. I forget why but I think the main reason was speed and lack of software.

I still have a copy of windows 3.0 on a floppy disk, oh those were the days

Wouldn't that have been Windows 3.x?

The first time I saw computers being used by "regular people" was in 1991 or so using Windows 3.x

Remember back then people used to have to be trained on how to use MS Word and Excel? I still remember taking classes on it.

this thread is showing the age of some of us...

God Windows 8.1 is horrible...

Waited for the true release date to install it... shouldn't have, already had 3 crashed in IE 11.

Also seems to be running slower than Windows 8... actually liked Windows 8... ugh...

C:\run gw-basic

Still remember that from my PC-XT daze. :1orglaugh

And we thought we were the cat's ass when we upgraded the monochrome monitor to an RGB (4 color) Sperry monitor. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I remember going to a movie theater and eating free popcorn and pop watching microsoft introduce win 95. Going to that got me on the list to be beta tester for win 98se.

he he, i remember days when ms-dos was best OS :D and mo mouse :D just keyboard :D

That was the last time Microshaft released a semi worthwhile OS

OS/2 was soooo much faster. Multithreading was ahead of it's time... It's too bad the proof of concept was basically running two instances of Doom in isolated DOS windows at the same time :1orglaugh

Actually not true at all. Windows XP was much much better than 95 and 98. Windows 2000 was a great os. Windows 7 is fine, I remember windows 95 and 98 crashing on me all the time.
Mac os isnt brillant when you only have to support 4 computers that you also build. Windows has to support millions of possible combinations and it pretty much does without problems.

Windows95 is remember me about my first encounter with a PC! 95 was awesome!

i used to work at Office Depot Miami computer dept when that happened i remember that day haha long ass line worked till next day.

still have Windows 95 for dummies printed version :)

revolutionary isnt it?

i was gonna say, looks like an apple launch does these days.
