When Windows 95 launched on Thursday August 24th 1995 (the clue's in the name), Mortal Kombat was the surprise box office hit, TLC was top of the charts, and Microsoft was pushing its new operating system with a $250 million publicity campaign. Start buttons everywhere, buying the rights to The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up" and a cyber sitcom starring Jennifer Anniston and Matthew Perry.Yes, a cyber sitcom.

Happy 20th birthday, Windows 95!

First time I saw the Start button. Before Windows 95, the only Windows I knew was Windows 3.1 on my school's 486 machines. Seeing Windows 95 on a colour monitor was a memorable experience for me.

My first computer books had Win 95 as its examples, started my windows experience with Win 98, then jumped to XP and a massive jump to Win 8. Yes I have never used Win 7.

same here but after win 98 used win ME > win 2000 both pro and server edition > Windows 2003 server ed. > Windows XP > Win 7 > Win 8 and 8.1. Still using win 7 and planning to use win 10 but still don't feel like a urging need.

I'm niw so moved by the GUI of such old OSes will try to get a win 98 like theme for windows 7. The default calssic which comes with OS is not very suitable so looking for a themepack
