Non-musical history for today: 1995 – Microsoft released (unleashed?) Windows 95 to the public in North America. Up to this point, Windows 3.1 was the go-to operating system for Applications (or “programs” as they were called). And I must admit some nostalgia for that old thing. And, Windows 95 was a major breakthrough at the time. Followed by 98 in 1998, 2000 in 1999, ME in 2000, XP in 2001, Vista in 2007, Windows 7 in 2009, 8 in 2012, Windows 10 in 2015, Windows 11 in 2021. Support for all previous OS up to Windows 10 has expired, and that will be phased out in October 2025. Here’s your reminder to update your stuff!! I mean, if you’re a PC/Windows kind of person.
