I kind of wish MS would open source Windows 95, like they did with MS-DOS 4. I feel like some programmer out there would treat it like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. "You're not such a bad little OS, really. You just need a little love."

Rest in Pepperoni, old friend. I remember frantically searching for the disc whenever I needed some extra drivers.
Oh never mind, there it is.
Comic-sans is the detail that brings it together

What has happened on 2001-12-31? My Windows 95 lived beyond that point. I think I still have it installed on my retro gaming laptop that's lying down in my cellar. Might be time to boot it up once again.

That was when extended support ended.
o.O I never knew there even was support for Windows 95. At least it was a time before Windows Update, and I don't know of any Service Packs either. It would have been a pain to download anyway, with my 56k modem and the 20Pfg/min price tag 😬
