Twenty-five years ago today: Microsoft launched Windows 95
On August 24, 1995, Microsoft held what's likely to go down in history as its biggest Windows launch in history with Windows 95.

I remember a friend getting Win95 and inviting me over to play I believe the game was MechWarrior at the time.
I don't miss the Win9x era VxD bugs, and remember on Win98 making a VxD bug fix script that would re-copy the good/working and not corrupted VxD files back into the OS - made having to reinstall the Win98 OS fresh every few months (sometimes every 6 months) for that specific error a thing of the past.
I still have a box running 98SE, and still use it a couple of times a year.
I keep it because I have the full version of AutoCAD 2000i on it. - You can't buy Autocad outright anymore and a monthly (£234) or yearly (£1,890) subscription costs way too much for occasional use.

The only reason I still have an old Dell that runs Win98 (should've bought the 98SE upgrade disc back then) is to play the Descent games that never worked in later versions of Windows.
