What is windows95?

Windows 95

Windows 95 was originally called “Chicago,” and it’s often thought of as the most important operating system ever! Back in the day, experts said it was “a quantum leap in difference in technological capability and stability.” Sounds fancy, right?

The First OS for Everyone

This OS was a game-changer because it was made for everyone, not just tech geeks or pros working in what was then a brand-new industry. Whether you’re a Boomer or a Millennial, if you feel a wave of nostalgia when you hear about Windows 95, guess what? There’s an app that brings that old-school vibe back to life!

Meet Felix Rieseberg

The cool cat behind this app is Felix Rieseberg, a developer at Slack who has a love for retro operating systems. Thanks to him, anyone can now experience the classic Windows 95 on modern computers (even Macs!) through this neat Electron app. It’s based on an existing web project, so it’s pretty nifty.

Why Bother with Windows 95?

You might be wondering why anyone would want to go back to something so outdated. Well, it’s actually super interesting to see where your current Windows 10 came from! Plus, it shows just how much software has changed over the last 25 years!

Educational Fun with Classic Apps

This app isn’t just for kicks; it offers an educational experience that’s actually enjoyable. You can install apps from back then like WordPad, MS Paint, Minesweeper, and even the original Solitaire! Talk about nostalgia!

Play Classic Games Too!

And here’s something fun: you can also play those classic games like Doom 1 or Supaplex! Just keep in mind that while this app is awesome for reliving memories, Felix suggests using a real virtualization app for gaming.

A Quick Trip Down Memory Lane

Just remember that this app uses JavaScript virtualization tech designed to emulate older operating systems right in your browser. So while it's cool and nostalgic, it's not perfect. But hey, if you want an easy way to take a quick trip down memory lane and enjoy those sweet Windows 95 experiences again, this is your ticket!
