Something about the visuals of the old Windows versions is making it so beautiful and well ordered at the same time. There is no real visual bloat which distracts you too much like nowadays.

Its been 25 years and the start up sound is still burned into my head.

I truly miss the simplicity of the Windows 95/98 era.

Don't forget one of Win95's most important features: long filenames! Can you imagine having only 8 characters for every file on your hard drive?

Win 95 was a “mind blown” switching from 3.1, Epic times. Never had a problem with 95.

Dude, an absolute wave of nostalgia hit me with that win95 start up sound. Brings me back to the library in grade school. Great video btw

The time when everything was named "Something 2000" just to sound modern and high tech.. :D

So many good memories with this OS. Everything was precious including listening music in winamp, downloading 3-5MB mp3 files via 5kbps dial-up connections, exchanging game CD’s with friends and playing Red Alert, Duke Nukem, Warcraft and so many others.. Good old days..

Windows 95 still looks and feels great in 2020.

I remember having to re-install Windows 95 at least a dozen times.

Windows 95 gives me strong nostalgia. Rearranging and organizing the folders in the Start menu, the flying paper animation while moving and copying files, Space Pinball, playing the stock MIDI files (Brandenburg Concerto), the wizards, yellow tooltips, the window style, the sky behind the logo...

When Windows 95 are more customisable than Windows 10.

I'm feeling so nostalgic! I still vividly remember attending the local official Microsoft 95 launch at the Grand Hotel in Calcutta, India. I worked in the IT department of a local company back then and was so excited to get my hands on a copy of Win95. I've still got the launch T-Shirt somewhere!

Fun fact: Mozilla was and is short for mozaic killer.

The "Weezer fan" at Microsoft was actually Bill Gates himself. I don't remember how I learned that but it was a fun thing to make fun at when I was 16.
