Windows 95 turned 27 last August. Microsoft doesn’t support it anymore, but it’s still fighting thanks to the open source Electron framework which Slack developer Felix Rieseberg worked on a few years ago. Now we are getting a new version with interesting news.
The launch of Windows 95 was a before and after in the history of Microsoft and personal computers. For better or for worse, it is a key piece of software in the consumer computing revolution and the beginning of the desktop operating system monopoly that continues today, with the invaluable help of “Wintel”, today completed or almost ahead of the challenge that Apple poses with its ARMs chips.
Windows 95, like other mythical developments (see Doom), survived to run on all kinds of devices, from the iPhone to the Xbox, through the Apple Watch or the browser. Obviously, its natural place is still the PC And here comes this Windows 95 for PC, which uses Electron, an open source framework that allows the development of graphical desktop applications using client-server components for web applications and with Chromium as an interface.
It is used quite a lot in modern applications and you can see it on Skype, WhatsApp, Twitch or Slack. From the development team of the latter came the version that concerns us, a project hosted on GitHub that allows bring Windows 95 back to life on a number of systems. Any Windows (32-bit, 64-bit and ARM64), macOS (Intel processor, Apple M1 processor) and Linux (32-bit, 64-bit, ARM64 and ARMv7) in rpm and deb versions.
The new version (3.1.1) upgrades Electron from version 18 to 21, supports the latest version of Chromium 106, Bluetooth Web Pairing, V8 JavaScript engine support and more. As for the interface, it adds an “immersive dark mode in Windows” that will help set a dark header based on system preferences and improve image scaling on all platforms.
A good way to remember Windows 95, surely the most successful operating system in history, which made Microsoft the software giant it is today and its co-founder Bill Gates the richest man on the planet.
