WINDOWS '95
Windows '95 is a 32-bit GUI. 
[for those of you that may wonder what a GUI is, please go back and read Windows 3.X]

 

IS WINDOWS '95 AN OS?
Although, with the advent of 32-bit processing and pre-emptive multitasking, Microsoft claims that Windows '95 & '98 are Operating Systems. This is not so.
They are still shells over DOS, just as Windows was originally. Sure, maybe they donot need Autoexec.bat to load or run, but if you take away DOS, Windows '95 ['98] will NOT run. Simple as that.
WHAT IS A SHELL?
Let's use a kernel of popcorn before it's popped as a reference, here.

If Windows has crashed on you lately, your bound to probably have seen some form of vague reference to something called a Kernel, anyway. Maybe "...Kernel32 caused a General Protection Fault in Kernel32.dll..." or something similar.

Well, let's get back to that kernel of un-popped corn.
