Hey all
I am writing this from Windows 95 OR2 and IE 5.5 sp2. LOL. I installed it to a VM today to play (found drivers, CD ISO, etc on the web) and check out. I am a older PC user, so I ran Windows 95 as a upgrade to 3.11 (I still have my discs), anyway, just wanted to see how it works against the current systems. I even installed the Plus! pack to get those retro screen savers that I had way back when.
Shockingly, it runs pretty good, it's smooth and fast, a few crashes but, nothing major. IE 5.5 cant view everything (the main page of this site crashes it). I am shocked that I could use IE 5.5 and log into this site and make a post..
The VM is configured with..
1 CPU (3.0ghz one core)
512mb of ram (tried to give it 1gb and it would not boot)
3gb HD
Anyone know of a current browser that runs on 95 ? Anyone else try this before for the heck of it ???
The funny thing about this is, the phone in your pocket could run this smooth as silk, the CPU and memory in your phone is faster and better than what was available when Windows 95 released.
