[quote]Twenty years ago, Microsoft changed the world. On August 24, 1995, Windows 95 was released to the public, beginning a revolution that has helped shaped the technology world for the next two decades.
It was by no means the first version of Windows. Home computing had been around for more than a decade, but nothing before, had had the same impact. As well as being a technological breakthrough, introducing features that still define Microsoft’s operating system today, Windows 95 was an unprecedented cultural phenomenon.[/quote]

My first OS was Windows 3.11 on a 286 Packard Bell. Can't believe it's been 20 years since Windows 95.
I remember shutting the computer down after running Mechwarrior, just so that I could hear this:

Just another four years...
When I emulate operating systems in VMs, I always enjoy using Windows 95 and its kin the most. It's somehow still useful productivity-wise even to this day.
My mom's first pc was an IBM dual boot running Win 95 and OS2 Warp
Maybe I should boot up my W95 laptop in remembrance.

There was a simple fix to that. You just copied the /win95 directory off the CD and pointed to the folder on your hard drive when it prompted.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48527639]Yep, the prompt was still irritating though.[/QUOTE]
You could resolve this by also [URL="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/131652"]updating the registry[/URL] [I](the book on it in its entirety is amazingly smaller than most fiction tradepaperbacks)[/I].
gladly kept MSDOS for the video games.
Win95 is almost old enough to drink
Windows 95 was pretty great
My favorite part of the extras

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;48529352]Worth the try.
Or cheat like I do now with 98se and install it in a VM.[/QUOTE]
I mean it's still perfectly functional, minus battery. I just haven't used it in a couple months.

You joined FP when you were 10?!
I'm sorry if we've stunted your growth.
On my first PC there was 98, but i still remember 95 from school. I always laughed when loading stage text in DOS was just... fucked up ('cause russian translation). And this still appears on VM.

Back in the days, that OS was good, yet buggy.
Happy B-day, pal.
I'm sorry, but nothing beats my childhood's W98 startup sound.

Nah, it's gotta be this.

Back in my day we didn't have an OS....
no seriously, back when i was a kid, we had DOS and that's it.
Then we got Win95
I feel so old now, and I'm just 27
I still vividly remember every time we upgraded OSes on our main PC, from 95 to 98 and 98 to XP. Potentially the most traumatic events of my early to late childhood life.

DOS is an OS. It's in the title.

IIRC a while back some 06'er said that he joined FP when he was 6
95' good times when I was like 10 xD
Imagine the time when Windows 95 is 95 years old.
I'm probably dead by then.

Ironically, I was born five days after Windows 95. Also happy birthday. :toot:
