22 years ago, in an age of huge desktops, and thick laptops, Windows 95 came out. It was a truly revolutionary Microsoft OS, in that it introduced the desktop with the start menu. It made using Windows, so much better, especially from Windows 3.1!
Today I decided to resurrect an old 1996 Dell XPS P200S, and install Windows 95. It was actually pretty easy, almost as easy as Windows 10. I did notice some similarities, 22 years later.
First, I stuck in the boot disk, and booted Windows 95 right up.
It then went to formatting the hard drive, to install Windows 95. This went relatively quickly.
Then, it went into the Windows 95 setup screen. It is a pretty looking splash screen!
After that, I went through the process of inserting the license key.
I agreed to the license agreement
Now, it began copying the files for Windows 95
Windows need to restart
Now, getting Windows 95 ready for the first time. Just like Windows 10 does with the changing colors :).
Windows 95 boots up now.
Finally, on the Windows 95 desktop greeted by the Welcome Screen!
In the end, I still have to scour the internet for drivers, for the old Matrox video card. I have to say, going back 22 years and installing Windows 95. It wasn’t a bad experience! It brought back many memories of the old days of Windows!

<p>I believe that Windows 95 was unique among operating systems due to the extensive usability studies performed with average people. Today the design seems to be more about idiosyncratic artistic expression. </p><p><br></p><p>The Windows® 95 User Interface: A Case Study in Usability Engineering http://prior.sigchi.org/chi96/proceedings/desbrief/Sullivan/kds_txt.htm</p>

<p>I started out on Windows 3.1 and the one thing I remember….Putting the 7 floppy disks on my hard drive and whenever something was acting weird, you just blew away the Windows directory and re-installed from those floppies on the hard disks. Took 10 minutes and you were back up. Of course, back then, Windows was just a shell than ran on top of DOS. Windows has come a LONG way!</p>
