Nobody loves it anymore, it can go cry in the corner alongside 95, it's been lonely. :<

It supported my pops getting mad at his kids for wanting to install a 64 MB memory game that took up all the resources and made it run, even if it seemed impossible, even slower!

That game was probably terrible past the castle and first dungeon anyway.

I saw a guy in CompUSA a couple months ago that was bitching to the sales guy about how "Nobody supports Windows 95 anymore". I wanted to deck him for stupidity.

Was there ever a Windows 1.0 before the 3.11???
TalHex
Nov 7, 2007, 09:07 PM
yeah it was probably called MS-DOS at the time

MS-DOS was part of the base for Windows 1, yes. But DOS does not equal Windows. Windows 1-ME were all DOS based, and could do DOS functions natively, but they became more than just a GUI adaptation to DOS. So, it would've been MS-DOS powered, rather than MS-DOS as DOS continued up through DOS 6 as a seperate OS.

Unbelievable! The oldest DOS I remember was 6.0, there is actually a 1.0 http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Conventional Memory0-640KB
Base memory
DOS Programs
Memory Resident Routines

640-1024kb
Reserved memory
System Bios
Video Bios
other apps

and that's how we split up 1MB of RAM before the fancy 286es, going up hill in hail on thorn covered roads! >;[

No, they just started at 3.11 and worked their way up from there.
