Windows 95 launched 25 years ago today.

I stand by my assertion. Posting about windows 95 and being a day late is even more boring.

Calling me an idiot is a bit mean though.

Let's see what the expert says.

This is general - calling you an merely an idiot isn't really an insult.

Would you prefer cretin?

Trying to remember if this was one of the good Windows versions or one of the crappy ones. Think latter, along with ME, Vista and 8.

It was a better windoze version.

ME was a chock of tulip. I remember going round to a friend's who had ME and he did a demonstration to a group of us on how bad it was.

A younger family member demonstrated how crap Vista was on his parents' computer, then demanded and got a Mac.

[woohoo]

I prefer the clippy insult to the ms bob. I think eek has put more work into it. Sorry Greg, but eeks years of photoshopping his mums face on to bikini clad girls is finally paying off.

Meme fail. Clippy wasn't Windows 95, but Office 97.

Windoze 1.00 was released on 20th November 1985, so there's a while to wait to celebrate 35 years of Windoze crapness.

I have a Windoze 1.01 installation that runs on an Amstrad PPC640 with a hard disk.

The worst thing to happen IT was Windows-NT. The fact of having a Windows interface on a server made IT illiterate middle mangers and CEOs believe that they understood servers and networks because it looked that same as their home PC.

Windoze was <and is> a rip off of IBM OS2.
