The Operating System

Windows 95, released to manufactoring by Microsoft on July 14, 1995, is a notable operating system that succeeded Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups. It introduced significant features and a redesigned user interface, contributing to the widespread adoption of graphical user interfaces in personal computing. The inclusion of the Start menu, taskbar, and Plug and Play functionality aimed to improve user experience and system management.

The Web Browser

Internet Explorer 1.0 was Microsoft’s initial web browser, released in August 1995 as part of the Microsoft Plus! add-on for Windows 95. It was developed using licensed source code from Spyglass Mosaic, a browser derived from the original NCSA Mosaic. Internet Explorer 1.0 featured basic web browsing capabilities, supporting HTML, HTTP, and rudimentary CSS. It had minimal functionality compared to later browsers, with no support for advanced features like JavaScript or multimedia plugins. Its release was significant as it marked Microsoft’s entry into the web browser market, positioning the company to compete with established players such as Netscape Navigator. Although Internet Explorer 1.0 did not have a major impact on the market initially, it laid the groundwork for Microsoft’s aggressive expansion in the browser space in subsequent years, leading to the “browser wars” of the late 1990s.
