Windows 95 marked a significant turning point in personal computing when it was released. With its distinctive rolling launch, complete with a media blitz and celebrity endorsements like the Rolling Stones, it captured the public's imagination. Technologically, Windows 95 introduced a user-friendly interface that was accentuated by the 'Start button' and taskbar, both of which have become ubiquitous symbols of Windows to this day.
Perhaps most revolutionary was its support for a 32-bit structure, allowing for more efficient multi-tasking compared to its predecessors. This was supported by Plug-and-Play hardware recognition, which simplified the previously complicated task of installing peripheral devices. Networking capabilities were also enhanced, paving the way for internet integration, which, in conjunction with the IE browser, opened new realms of possibilities for personal and professional use.
The operating system's innovative design principles and robust features facilitated an era where computing became more accessible to the general population, seamlessly integrating into both homes and businesses. This widespread adoption set the foundation for PC standards moving forward.
