    I wonder where they heard about this release....I recall something in
    the news recently, but did not read about their new release.

    What they got to be angry about?; pshurely they could've retired on Bill Gates's donation for "Start me up"?

    I miss Windows 95! It still lives on a old Toshiba laptop that sits
    aside my living room television on a small stand. Good for an
    occasional game of solitaire. It's worth it, to not have to manually
    set real cards. ;)

    It was funny that when MS used "Start me up" in their ads, we never
    heard "you make a grown man cry"..

    That's clever. Ironically, Win95 was more user-centric than Win11 is,
    so it's gotten worse, not better. Imagine going back to 1995 and they
    preview - with all that fanfare - an OS that shows you ads in the start
    menu and puts clickbait in every new tab of the browser while you type
    in the URL you really want. They'd have been laughed off the stage.

    Fun to remember, too, how behind the market they were a year previous
    when Macs had this gorgeous, easy-to-understand GUI and the Microsoft
    computer you purchased (Gateway, probably) had DOS (lame!) and Win3.1
    shell as an add-on. No wonder they spent big money to talk up their
    new product. They needed us all to know they were catching up.

    I wouldn't go back to Win95 or Win98 but I'd go back to Win2000 in a
    heartbeat. Win11 seems designed to just irritate me all day and Win10
    is only marginally better.

    I believe it was a stand alone product....Win 1/2 ran in real mode
    with a DOS under the hood and used graphical shells. "Windows 3.0
    applications can run in protected mode..."

    "Windows 2.0 also introduced more sophisticated keyboard shortcuts and
    could make use of expanded memory. "

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows

    when Macs had this gorgeous, easy-to-understand GUI

    It took MS time to figure out how to use the higher memory. Paul Allen
    was the person who figured it out, and saved Microsoft's butt.

    I still use Win7 on my main PC. I'll be hard pressed to upgrade, and I
    imagine I'll hold onto this for *years*. I still have a Win 95 Toshiba
    laptop which sits beside the living room television set. I went through
    hoops to get it on-line (yes, today still), but that was mostly for my amusement. The machine is primarily used for Solitaire.
