While I advised my mainstream readers to wait on upgrading to Windows 95, mostly due to the need for hardware and app upgrades needed to make full use of it, I lauded it. I couldn’t find a link to my review, but here’s the key conclusion. https://t.co/LI04w1nZNx — PolitiTweet.org

The launch of Windows 95 on this date 25 years ago was one of the biggest milestones in personal computing. It closed the gap with the Mac OS. And it cemented the graphical user interface as the standard. Congrats to @BillGates, @bradsilverberg & many others. https://t.co/FMm6x1UMFz — PolitiTweet.org

I believe Windows 95 benefited both @Microsoft AND its rival, @Apple. For Microsoft, it kicked off a wave of PC buying and OS upgrading. For Apple, which had failed to create a new OS, it forced the company to look outside, leading to the return of Steve Jobs and to OS X. — PolitiTweet.org
