Return To Windows 95, Xp Sucks.


Recommended Posts

Okay let's hear it. Which is better windows 95 or windows XP pro? Face it win 95 takes up much less space on the disk and offers much in the way of performance. On modern machines Windows 95 flys. Cranks out faster, boots fastest, and takes less space.

Only down side is that it crashes more often, won't run many programs, drivers are extremely incompatible. Other than that, it does very well when you fix it.

If you think Windows 95 "flies," then you may as well run DOS 6.22. I am quite sure that DOS will suit your requirements of speed and disk space usage.

My personal preference is Windows XP over Windows 95 for compatibility with the latest technology, ease of use, and better security.

Unsupported By Microsoft, Unsupported for software creation by many companies, Windows 98 is on its way out too...

Summed it up perfectly :laugh:

You know, i think any os can handle what i normaly do on a computer. Any windows be it 95/98, even ME, but windows xp is just so fun and pretty. I was on a win95 computer today, and it looked horrible. I want beauty, eyecandy, sexy looking desktops. I want special effects and all that other crap. Right now my computer looks so damn sexy .... oh baby!!!

Seriously though, xp is more compatable now for newer programs, and im the type of person that wants the latest software. XP is great.

:blink: Had to do a double take when I read the thread title... I mean really, Windows 95 versus Windows XP? Windows 98, ME, NT 4, 2000 maybe... (big maybe one the first 3), but 95? :x Excuse me while I was the bad taste out of my mouth :D

Oh wait... I get it... can a mod move this to the Jokes forum :p

I agree in two aspects, if u r gonna run something like put a flash animation for ur company and use the comp as a tour guide or something use Win95 as it doesn't take much and doesn't get in the way of something like that. Also, if u r using 95 for a program in a lab or something, going to 98XP etc. wouldn't really be nessecary if it is all working well

your computer sucks thats why

werent you the same guy bragging how you had Longhorn and how fast is was lol

I think this is one of the strangest threads i've seen at Neowin. To be serious for a moment though, if someone was going to say that they were considering going back to a previous operating system, the only one that for me would be a viable option is 2K. There is no way i would ever go back to the 9X series. :wacko:

your computer sucks thats why

I don't really see ur Athlon 1600+ with 256MB RAM breaking any records, so let's not turn this into a flame war. Like I said, 95 still has it's good uses, and it was a very good OS back in it's time. Sadly, it has a large lack of support, I even tried to install it on the comp in my sig (just for the hell of it) and it wouldn't let me b/c it would support like nothing my comp had. 95 is very fast you have to admit, it is like win98 without all the M$ junk, but for all u that want Win95 back but don't want all that junk that makes it just as slow, try 98Lite, works pretty well. Hardware support of 98, with the look, feel, and speed on 95

Face it win 95 takes up much less space on the disk and offers much in the way of performance. On modern machines Windows 95 flys. Cranks out faster, boots fastest, and takes less space.

if you have a modern computer you probably wouldnt have an issue with room :huh: xp for me

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
