I was really disappointed at the time because I thought I was going to get a Mac.
#WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR GUI WINDOWS#
When I found my first programming job in early 1997, I was put to work on a computer running Windows 95b. (If memory serves me, Apple had a web browser included with the OS before Microsoft did) “and what was the first version of MacOS to include a built-in web browser?”Įarly versions of system 7 had cyberdog. “Also, IIRC Win95 had a builtin TCP/IP stack before System 7 did (my memory tells me TCP/IP was added to the core operating system in System 7.5)”
#WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR GUI MAC#
“It just so happens that Mac applications of the time period tended to be better written as a general rule.” System 8 received an equally small bit of protected memory. “Windows 95 had a *small* degree of memory protection, System 7 (and 8 and 9) had NONE.” “technology-wise Windows 95 did have some advantages.” I haven’t seen one single Apple fanboy on this thread thus far… why are you addressing? “You see, no matter what you Apple fanboys want to remember about System 7” When they crashed… they crashed hard… and brought down the whole system. “Windows 95 programs probably crashed about twice as often, but were half as likely to take the whole system with them.” When you were lucky? That worked 99% of the time. “Sometimes command-apple-delete (i think that’s the keystroke) would let you “properly” reboot your mac, if you were lucky.” The difference was that it happened far less often on system 7. “As far as the robustness of each is concerned, System 7 didn’t crash often, but when a program locked it up, you were DONE” It’s been at least 7 or 8 years since I’ve done much with a Mac. Note, this is just what my memory tells me. It just so happens that Mac applications of the time period tended to be better written as a general rule.Īlso, IIRC Win95 had a builtin TCP/IP stack before System 7 did (my memory tells me TCP/IP was added to the core operating system in System 7.5) and what was the first version of MacOS to include a built-in web browser? Windows 95 had a *small* degree of memory protection, System 7 (and 8 and 9) had NONE. You see, no matter what you Apple fanboys want to remember about System 7, technology-wise Windows 95 did have some advantages. Windows 95 programs probably crashed about twice as often, but were half as likely to take the whole system with them. Sometimes command-apple-delete (i think that’s the keystroke) would let you “properly” reboot your mac, if you were lucky. (Remember when Apple OWNED the education market?)Īs far as the robustness of each is concerned, System 7 didn’t crash often, but when a program locked it up, you were DONE, command-apple-escape or whatever the keystroke was almost never killed the program.
I’ve used both, our high school computer lab at the time was approximately 75% mac 25% PC.
The article will be updated in the future with the configuration files taken from the OS itself, and possibly an installer.“ Screenshots are included with the article, as is a list of files present in the OS. Here’s the screenshots (taken with the camera): So I’m not just going to make this claim.
And what’s more, you can build the system yourself, if you know how.īut if I simply made this claim, you might laugh, you might mock. Tonight, I created the world’s first sub-5mb bootable, registry editable, command-promptable, usable version of Windows 95. However, what you are about to hear is a world first. And then, there was redruM69, who managed to get 95 down to 5.35mb. In the words of the author, “ Okay, over the past couple of days you will have heard plenty of news about the latest Windows 95 in 10mb, created by Richard E. James and redruM69 (who recently boiled down Windows 95 to less than 10 MB, and 5.3MB, respectively), was able to juice it down to just 4.47 MB. Windows 95…in less than 5 MB? It’s been done.
