ElI5: Why was so special about Windows 95, what made it a 90s pop culture touchstone?
In: Technology
Edit: I was thinking of Win3.1 when I wrote this comment. Sorry about that! Win95 is easier to use than Win3.1 but somehow I forgot Win3.1 even existed cause my family went from MS-DOS to Win95.
It basically brought home computers into the mainstream. IBM compatible computers were cheaper than Apple and Win95 was much easier to use. With MS-DOS you had to read instruction manuals and with Windows95 you could just.. click things.
Plus, Minesweeper and Solitaire came free with it and everyone loves to play a game on a new technology.
