ElI5: Why was so special about Windows 95, what made it a 90s pop culture touchstone?
In: Technology
Late to the game, so people have already covered most of it… but there’s one thing I don’t see anyone mentioning. Although Windows 95 wasn’t very good/stable on release they worked on it a fair bit. After a while it got (for the time) rock solid for stability and performance.
Pretty often in the Windows 98 and later days the best solution to getting something working was to install Windows 95 instead. This meant that it had a strong following for gamers and computer geeks, and people mostly don’t remember the days when it was often worse than Windows 3.1.
