I have Windows 95 OSR2.5 on CD. Is there anyway I can run it via a Virtual machine in Windows Vista?

So nostalgic. I love the classic theme.

[MuffloN]

I don't know why, but for some reason I started to spontaneously hiss when I saw the WinME screenshots, I don't know why, perhaps hidden, pushed away childhood nightmares on the first family computer?

You did a great job putting this together! Looking at these screenshots bring back a lot of memories. Too bad I don't have a Windows 95, and 98 CD so that I can go back and play around with those OS's.

Seems like Windows 7 took cues from Windows 95. :p

That may have been a joke but I'm surprised how right you are!

They publicly admitted they went back to Windows 3.1 and 95 for the taskbar look.

Thank you for keeping up with the builds. Your site is a good resource.

I don't think that's a bad thing at all. Frankly, that's great. It's good to go back to the beginning and thus evolve from it in a different way.

Frankly, Vista had elements in it (like the window color picker) that were in Windows 1.0 and then never seen or used again.
