Windows 95 launch was a major cultural and marketing spectacle with significant impact on personal computing.
It introduced key features like Start Menu, Taskbar, and Recycle Bin, making PCs more user-friendly.
Despite hype, Windows 95 faced skepticism over hardware upgrade costs and stability issues, including frequent crashes and Plug and Play failures.
The system transitioned to 32-bit and supported longer file names, but compatibility with old DOS software led to instability.
