Opening My computer makes a piece of paper about coffee??

[NostalgicAdolescent]

God, I remember when using my first computer with Windows 95 on it when I was 3 years old. I was still a "computer nerd" back then. :P Ah, the nostalgia.

[jacksite2007]

never had windows 95, but i bet that froze and had constant errors like win 2007 ME did.

[uklouis1986]

I have used it and can tell you it was a good os for the time and was better then ME (:

[aj0049]

Windows ME was just fine...

until you started installing applications lol

[JPT580]

haha!

i had one of these discs some years ago, too...

great to find the video here :)

[neelwebs]

Good!

[retrooldschool]

Cool. Never saw this.

[whiteechidna]

If only windows really had animated backgrounds.

[badsectoracula]

@whiteechidna now, i know this is a 2yo comment, but since Windows 98 (or Win95 + active desktop) you can have animated backgrounds using some special code. Personally i used to have some scrolling stuff for a while but a) it got tiresome and b) i did that back when i still had a Pentium MMX @ 200MHz and was slowing down the system a bit :-P

@whiteechidna DREAMSCENE. :|

[3DPlanets]

@whiteechidna Use a gif.

[needfordylan]

@whiteechidna it has on vista

[msz1]

I still use Windows 3.1 as my main OS.

[aj0049]

Windows 3.11 is NOT an OS. it is simple a DOS shell... with extended features.

[msz1]

Then neither are 95, 98, or Me.

[aj0049]

you're right, we could probably argue that, but for a FACT, 3.11 is NOT an OS.

[xcomcmdr]

It is. Win16 executables cannot be run in DOS Mode.

And DOS was just used by Win9x as a bootloader and kept for MS-DOS apps support.

[simon1234simon]

but in both cases you need to be running Windows for certain programs. so it's kinda a extension to the OS

[windowspiratato]

@aj0049 well, if someone has "extract" dos 7 from windows 95, i think 9x is just dos bundled with a shell

[aj0049]

no, 9X was a stand-alone OS that still used DOS subroutines.

[standingcam]

@aj0049 yeah 3.11 was not an OS, but WFW 3.11 was!

[drygnfyre]

This is true. All versions of Windows up to 3.11 for Workgroups could not operate on their own, as Windows 95 and later versions could. You had to run MS-DOS and THEN launch Windows. Windows 3.x was just a graphical DOS shell.

[SalocinTEN]

I think I still have a few of those Discover magazines from way back then which had double page spreads of Windows '95 ads proudly showing the infamous "Start" button.

[DarkSoftStudios]

Windows 95 makes Coffee airborne.

[time2die4ever]

@DarkSoftStudios  lololololololoolololol

[KnucklesARouge]

lol the earth flew

[KnucklesARouge]

Get windows 3.1 again because it doesn't have coffee and hats flying all over the place

[aj0049]

lol X-D

[KnucklesARouge]

Another bad thing: Windows 95 is in the sky so you can't reach it.

[Polygon6789]

@KnucklesARouge XD

[schieese]

I have this.
