Notice that BOTH movies continue playing smoothly even while the image is warped and bent as he moves the pages. For those old enough: that was pretty amazing for a machine without a super graphics card more than ten years ago..

Why the hell can't microsoft do something like this?

@TalesOfWar You can't determine any OS to be user friendly, it's like calling another OS the "best". There is no such thing as the best because every OS has it's niche in the market, same way how some people would prefer Mac OS over Windows or vice versa because of how user friendly they are. Just depends on who buys them.

@orcmisha I would hardly call Windows "most user friendly". Microsoft is where it is today based largely on questionable business practice. They essentially stole what was at the time the Macintosh OS to create Windows 1, a poor copy, something they've been doing ever since. Then there's the contracts they had with OEM's, where they'd be paid per computer, not per install, so even if they ran another OS, they still got paid. Microsoft has a long history of genuinely evil business tactics.

@larewwedxhhh19 Microsoft had the money to tell the world their product existed and pay all the publications to write about it as the next big thing. You could ask the same for NeXT STEP too, that too was far ahead of anything Microsoft had at the time. Saying that though, if it was successful in its own right, we may not have Mac OS X today, as it's based on NeXT STEP when Apple bought them along with their CEO, a guy known as Steve Jobs lol.

So someone PLEASE explain to me why Windows 95 was so successful during all this when it couldn't even so ANY of these things.

Woah, this system rocks o.o

@orcmisha they're on top of the market cause they threaten hardware and pc producer to raise licenses price for OEM if they install other OS on their machine. And also, Windows is user friendly cause perhaps you (like me) were born with a pc in your house. Some friends of mine used only MacOSX in their life and find Windows hard to use. Also, cheap system? Windows raise its hardware requirements almost every year (this is part of the agreement with hardware producer of course).

@FredMayX2 If MS is so bad then why are they on top of the market and most user friendly... think about what you say with things that suck. I do get your point ofc, Mac OS X is graphicly amazing, but also amazingly expensive unfortionally. Linux is difficult to use for new people and isn't compatible with everything (YET), however it is free. beOS, i have no opinion and no right to say anything about it, cus i never used it. windows is easy to use on a cheap system and that = win and succes
