I lived near Toronto at the time and remember the unfurling of a huge Win 95 banner down one side. There were events everywhere. MS was really at their zenith. The excitement around that launch was like nothing since. I believe I got swept up and installed it immediately but shortly after removed it. Couldn't get used to the interface. Eventually for one reason or another I had to and did go back to it. Wasn't the greatest or most stable OS and was kind of a half breed at that, but man.. what I wouldn't give to feel the anticipation again, the difference between it and DOS. Nothing released on either PC or Mac has come close.
