Windows 95
Article Abstract:
The launch of Microsoft's Windows 95 is a significant software development. The new software incorporates the operating system into the environment so that it is not necessary to load MS-DOS. The system has some similarities to the Mac Desktop, with just a few shortcut icons appearing on the screen. This is intended to make it easier for novices to negotiate the system. A main difference is the replacement of File Manager by Windows Explorer which allows the user to access all parts of the computer. An interesting feature is the Microsoft Network option.
