'''Windows 95''' (codenamed ''Chicago'') is a consumer version of [[Microsoft Windows]] released by Microsoft in 1995. It was designed to be the successor of [[Windows 3.1x|Windows 3.1]] and would be replaced by [[Windows 98]]. Microsoft ended support for Windows 95 on 31 December 2001. It improved upon 16-bit Windows by introducing a hybrid 16/32-bit kernel and eliminating the need for an existing installation of MS-DOS, making it a standalone operating system (running alongside MS-DOS). Microsoft focused on improving the usability of Windows with technologies such as Plug-and-Play, long file names (VFAT), the Start Menu, an updated Desktop, Internet Explorer, Mail, built-in networking, and virtual device drivers. Many of the paradigms introduced with Windows 95 remain in use today.
