Microsoft Windows for IBM PCs and Compatibles
Published in Paul W. Ross, The Handbook of Software for Engineers and Scientists, 2018
As this book goes to press, Microsoft, Inc. has introduced a successor product to Windows 3.1 known as Windows 95. This product is more Macintosh-like in nature. The major features of Windows 95 are: Easier installation of peripherals, such as scanners, due to the use of the Plug and Play system, which automatically recognizes and properly installs drivers for the majority of peripherals; optional longer file names, which gives the capability of having file names that are more descriptive of their contents, instead of the earlier eight-character limitation imposed by the MS-DOS operating system; and a more complete integration of the underlying operating system with the Windows environment, which leads to faster operation of Windows 95 in comparison to Windows 3.1. In addition, Windows 95 includes built-in networking capability eliminating the need for products such as Windows for Workgroups.
Origins

We focus the start of this period in 1995 for four reasons: The beginning of the WWW’s exponential growth, including commercial sites, began to flourish.Netscape Navigator (in December 1994) and Internet Explorer, the first full-featured browsers, debuted. Because they worked differently than each other in how they displayed web pages, web designers had to use different code, which caused serious interface compatibility issues for users.The release of Windows 95’s operating system, the first operating system (OS) built with consumers in mind, featured a task bar with a menu, start button, and other features designed to enhance user interaction.The debut of Jakob Nielsen’s http://Useit.com website offered advice to experts and novices on how to build better products, especially websites, for users.

In July 1995, Microsoft released the Windows 95 operating system, which included built-in support for dial-up networking and TCP/IP, two key technologies for connecting a PC to the Internet. It also included an add-on to the operating system called Internet Explorer 1.0 (Figure 1.13). When Windows 95 with Internet Explorer debuted, the WWW became accessible to a great many more people. Internet Explorer technology originally shipped as the Internet Jumpstart Kit in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95.
Arrangement and Accomplishment of Interconnected Networks with Virtual Reality
Published in IETE Journal of Research, 2022
A University of Southwestern Louisiana's Mechatronics and Automated Laboratories (RAL) uses an experimental multi-user connected VE to teleoperate a mobility robot. Computer work has taken place in the Virtually Realities and Media Centre. These helmet or operational platforms are used by testbed elements: I a portable robotics platform having a common storage multi-processor management platform, such as the Nomad 200. I Silicon Graphics workstation O2, running IRIX 6.3; (ii) numerous Gateway 2000 PCs (Pentium II 333 MHz, 384 MB RAM), running Metropolitan Window 95/NT/98; (iii) multiple Gateway 2000 PCs (Pentium II 333 MHz, 384 MB RAM), running Microsoft Windows 95/NT/98. Numerous Silicone Graphic desktops and Pentium-based PCs attached to a 10 Mb/s Gigabit LAN are also employed in a multi-user setup. To connect without additional machines on your LAN, the robots employ a wirelessly Internet network via RangeLAN2/Access Points. VRML, DIS, and Java were used to create the VE.
