Apple is no longer one of the companies that mocks the competition at every opportunity. This is partly due to the fact that the relations between him and Microsoftom, which he even published years later Office for iPad. But it wasn't that long ago that we saw Mac vs PC ads where Apple showed why it is better to buy a Mac and in one of the ads even showed that unpacking an iMac and preparing it for the first use is several times faster than unpacking a computer with Windows. The same way you shot it 20 years ago. Why are we going back to 1995? It started to be sold exactly 20 years ago Windows 95.
Apple was aware of this and published a series of scathing advertisements at the time attacking the Windows 95. For example, one of the advertisements said: "We present Windows 95. Your file names can have more than 8 characters. It has a basket that you can take things out of. Allows you to move things around the surface. Imagine that.' Employmentanci Applu for a change they had stickers on their cars alluding to the fact that some functions Windows 95 included Mac System 7 already 4 years ago. And the icing on the cake was that Apple booked a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal that featured the text C:/ONGRTLNS.W95 (Congratulations, Windows 95).
On the other hand, Applu sa this anti-campaign was not very successful because Windows 95 dominated the world and Apple was then an antediluvian society. Why did he succeed? Even the former director of user interface, Mitch Stein, said that Windows 95 was as simple as Mac OS and then sa Apple he was afraid that people would start switching to Windows. Another former worker even admitted that Windows 95 forced Apple change Mac. It was said that it was enough for people that the system was in black and white or had only poor colors, the survey indicated. But when he came Windows 95 with a colorful environment, it was instantly sexy and people wanted it. Apple so he had to catch up to the competition - he realized that he had to make products that looked good enough for people to want to buy them. AT Windowsthis was true in 95, it was a system for which you literally had to stand in line, almost like now people wait for iPhone. The system also offered an integral part in the form of a Start button that returned to Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Finally, the most interesting fact is that Windows The 95 is a product overseen by Brad Silverberg. He originally started as a programmer on the project Apple Lisa.

The enemy at that time AppIt wasn't so much Win 95, but the incompetent management of the company, which almost buried it.
From the first distribution in '95, I remember an installation set of 30 DS HD disks. You felt like a disc jockey during installation...
For comparison, the installers of comparable Mac OS 7.1 CZ only 8 of these disks, including one DEMOTOUR.
Where did it go wrong comrades?
