Why was everyone so excited for Windows 95?

Because they didn't take pictures of the people who were not excited

>Why was everyone so excited for Windows 95?
Because they told us the future was going to be better, and we believed them. We were happy.

>>62302061
because GUI and media features , all in all a WAY easier to handle and use OS than DOS

Because autism cult

>made computers more widely usable to normal people and not just the tech literate
>was made during the era where Windows was making constant strides forward and not taking huge steps backward (vista/8.1/10)

What wasn't there to be excited about?

>>62302061
They weren't. It was a forced marketing meme at the time, and no one gave a shit about the fucking Rolling Stones, it was in the same vein as the Gloria Estefan Ballmer freakout.

Because of their commercials.

100%, just make sure you're locked down as tightly as possible. Ideally get a hardware firewall and use more uncommon browsers that still support XP.
Hilariously, WannaCry didn't encrypt the hard drive of any XP computer since it would bluescreen when it tried to start.

Are you seriously, or is it a joke?
I've got a very old computer, so I need to use xp. I also like this os.

It was a big deal. It was all over the news all over the world. I member.

It was a big deal because it finally brought a polished looking OS into the PC market, where they had lagged behind apple by 10 years on that front.
