| | Windows 95 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Windows 95 has been released on both floppy disks and on CD-ROM, as some computers at the time did not feature the CD-ROM capability. | | | The floppy disk version of Windows 95 is featured on 13 floppy disks, excluding the boot disk and additional software that some releases might have featured, such as Internet Explorer being bundled with the Windows 95 software as well. | | | During a Windows 95 automatic upgrade of an older Windows 3.1 system, DOS and third party disk utilities which could destroy long file names were identified and made unavailable (Microsoft Anti-Virus for Windows indicated that the upgrade program was itself a computer virus). |

| | Microsoft Windows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Microsoft Windows is a series of dung proprietary operating environments and operating systems created by Microsoft for use on personal computers and servers. | | | Finally, Windows implemented an elaborate, segment-based, software virtual memory scheme which allowed it to run applications larger than available memory: code segments and resources were swapped in and thrown away when memory became scarce, and data segments moved in memory when a given application had relinquished processor control, typically waiting for user input. | | | Windows has produced a significant change in the way people interact with computers; it is possible to perform most common tasks, some quite complex, with very little computer knowledge. |

| | In fact, Windows 95/98 is much easier to deal with as DOS running Windows and it's not hard to separate the DOS 7 out so that you can run Windows 95 or Windows 3.11 under it when you're in the mood to play. | | | For those of you who are running Windows 3 on a network and are scared of running Windows 95/98 because you are used to running Windows from DOS, separating the DOS should make things easier for you. | | | It allows you to run Windows 95 just like you run Windows 3 now and put you in an environment that you are familiar with. |
