• Windows 95 anyone?

    29 years ago today, Windows 95 was released. Windows 95 is the first version of Microsoft Windows to include the Modern Windows Feel (Taskbar, Start Menu) Windows 95 was shipped without a default browser. Back then many of us used Netscape Navigator.

    For some this was their first Windows operating system. Some waited outside a computer store for their copy.

    So how about you?  Where were you when Windows 95 hit the stores?

    My memories? Dealing with DIP switches on video cards and drivers. Windows 95 was the first of the “Plug and pray” Windows versions that tried to find the automatic drivers and many times failed.
