#TodayInHistory 1995 - #Microsoft releases #Windows 95. This is the first consumer Windows version that does not require #msdos pre-installed. New features include integrated TCP/IP stack, dial-up networking, and long filenames. The software comprises over 11 million lines of code. The publicity campaign has a budget of $250 million, the biggest marketing extravaganza for a consumer product ever. First day sales total about 300,000 copies.

Recently did a week long experiment in which I commited to use Windows Vista in the modern day. No joke, I used a secondary machine as my main rig for the week, in which I considered my own use case, aswell as a few other ones in an attempt to answer this interesting question. It's in Portuguese, so you'll have to translate it at best.

Hope you enjoy it! :)
