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 2.0 was released by Microsoft in November 1995, following the initial launch of Internet Explorer 1.0 earlier that year. It introduced several key improvements over its predecessor, including support for more advanced web standards like HTML 3, basic JavaScript, cookies, and frames, making it more compatible with a broader range of websites. Internet Explorer 2.0 was also the first version to be available for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, signaling Microsoft’s intent to compete more aggressively in the growing web browser market. Despite these improvements, the browser still lagged behind Netscape Navigator, the dominant browser of the time, in terms of features and market share. Internet Explorer 2.0 represented an early stage in Microsoft’s strategy to integrate web browsing more deeply into the Windows platform, paving the way for future versions that would play a major role in the “browser wars” of the late 1990s.
