Windows 95 – Ten Years Old

What was I doing 10 years ago. Was I waiting with baited breath for the release of Windows 95. I don’t think I was actually, it was obviously such a significant event that I have completely forgotten it.

Back in those days we were far more interested in Windows NT and OS/2. I think most of us in the little office where I worked looked at it (except Vince because he was the Mac man).

I don’t think I know anyone still running Windows 95, I still have some friends and family running Windows 98 and Me. They are the ones who normally have the problems that are difficult to mend. It is very difficult to remember how to do things from that long ago.

Microsoft Monitor wonders where the Hoopla is? I kind of agree, however painful some of our experiences have been, there were ad continue to be some real wow moments too.

Mary Jo Foley makes some comments – mainly about the people still using Windows 95 and why they haven’t upgraded.

And there is a growing number of articles on Technorati.

But no big hoopla from Microsoft – perhaps looking back isn’t their strong point.
