Introduction to a Web Site - Microsoft Windows 95

by Joyce Leung

The WWW site I have chosen is called "Microsoft Windows 95". It's address is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/product/dsheet.htm. I can download the information contained in this site in a very fast rate because the machine of Microsoft is highly efficient and powerful, despite the fact that the information contains a lot of graphics. So if you have spare time, you can navigate around this site and at the same time admire the speed of the microsoft machine.

Indeed, the aim of setting up this site by Microsoft is to promote Windows 95. It compares the advantages of Windows 95 over that of Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroup 3.11 and O/S Warp. Also, it gives a report on the experimental result of how Windows 95 improve productivity and reduce learning time required. This experiment was conducted by a third party which is expert on testing the performance of different softwares. The report I downloaded was also written by that third party. Consequently, I found that the information contained in the report should be highly reliable and it deserves somebody who would consider to upgrade to Windows 95 to have a look at it.

The performance features of Windows 95 which makes working easier, faster and more funny are summarized below:

• Start button
• Taskbar
• Great support for existing MS-DOS and Windows 3.1-based applications
• Plug and play
• Long filenames (up to 250 characters!)
• Better MS-DOS support without MS-DOS
• Faster file and disk access
• Faster printing
• Easy installation
• Out of the box compatibility with Netware and all major networks
• 32 bit preemptive multitasking and multithreading
• Microsoft Exchange Inbox
• Autoplay

And many, many more....
