25

Microsoft finalized Windows 95 on August 15, 1995 and began selling it to the public 25 years ago today, on August 24, 1995. To celebrate this milestone, I’m looking back on my lengthy article Throwback Thursday: Windows 95 from five years ago. And providing another bit of nostalgia: My first public writing about Windows 95 from the BCLink newsletter ahead of the publication of my Windows 95 book.
