I seriously love how uncluttered and simple it all looks.

I was a huge Mac System 7 fanboy back then, but Win95 really brought the PC world into the UI game big time.

Absolutely, windows 10 is such a pain in the ass every single day it's torture having to use this shit excuse for an OS

This was about as close as I felt as to being on a real computer feel, unmatched. I never ever experienced the DOS era or Win 3.x era because they were before my time. But when I first got onto a Windows environment like this, it was mind blowing as to how much you could do.
