Microsoft Windows 95: First Retail Release
Windows 95 was the successor to Windows 3.1 and included a number of important new features:
- Support for 32-bit Windows applications
- Long mixed-case filenames (up to 255 characters)
- GUI improvements (e.g., Explorer, Start button, Taskbar, shortcuts)
It was also first version of Windows that required an 80386 CPU (preferably a D-stepping or later).
Windows 95 was released to manufacturing on July 14, 1995 and went on sale at midnight on August 24, 1995.
It is shown running below, following a “Compact Installation” on a 68Mb hard disk. Before the machine can start, it must download the disk image, which may take a minute or two, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
More information about this Windows 95 demo is available in the PCjs Blog.
