Skip today's Windows 11 update: it breaks cursor styling, resets wallpaper, and more

Windows 95 had a more successful launch. Believe me: I was there for it, and I had to run tech-support for half a dozen friends’ computers at the time, not to mention several family members.

And I had already been running Chicago betas for several months. What a shit show that was…

And these were the days before most people had either a functional Internet connection or any sort of home networking, so any kind of real fix or updates had to come through the sneakernet via floppies.

I was legit working for Dell tech Support when Windows 98 came out, and that really wasn’t so bad. except for the whole USB 2.0 thing…

I was a kid at the time with a pirated copy of W95. I had memorized the W95 license key (wasn’t that difficult but I finally forgot it) because I had to reinstall it so often. I think at least once a month.
