Description
Windows 95 is one of the most iconic Windows OS. Released in 1995 but was in development as far back as about 1992. This was the Windows version that introduced the "Start" button on the taskbar. It was packaged with The Microsoft Network, or MSN, their online service. The support for Windows 95 stopped in 2001, making it obsolete. Many of the things originally implemented in Windows 95 have become standards for every single Windows version since (I.E desktop shortcuts, start menu / Windows key)
