29 years ago today (August 24, 1995), Microsoft released Windows 95 as its revolutionary operating system to the public. This operating system, previously known by the code name “Chicago”, provided users with the benefits of a new and user-friendly interface. Still, 29 years after that important day, the impact of Windows 95 is still evident in the modern computer world, and the remnants of its old tools and programs are still running silently in the background of Windows 11.
For example, many Windows users still prefer to use simple old settings like “more sound settings” to adjust the system microphone volume. On the other hand, old win32 programs still work well thanks to the Windows 95 basics.
29 years ago, Microsoft spent about $150 million to introduce Windows 95, which, according to the New York Times, was as much as a year’s worth of Pepsi advertising for Pizza Hut or Taco Bell, and 50% more than the total amount spent by Philip Morris annually to advertise Marlboro, the best seller. American cigarettes were spending.
Microsoft also introduced this operating system from Jay Lenothe comedian and host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” had invited Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, the big stars of the series Friends, to play in an hour-long educational and humorous video for Windows 95, whose CD was $19.95.
