I was asking if most of the sites would work with browsers in that day...and I didn't know Opera and Firefox still support them.
- mahmud 16y agoI apologize for being a dick. Your question was about the internet, which did work with Windows 95, and so did the web, in fact, the whole dotcom era was powered by Windows 95 more than any other OS. Windows 95 had a native implementation of sockets, Winsock2, it also had telnet, and a serial communication utility. I ran Opera, IE and Netscape Navigator Gold on it. Eudora for Email, and Agent for a newsreader. Windows 98 shipped with Internet Explorer and had Active Desktop, the precursor to all the gadgets that you see today. The Windows SDK included even more controls, including MS HTML control that allowed you to embed web views (i.e. html frames) inside your apps. All MS help was converted HTML format as well, and the help compiler could convert HTML documents to CHM. It was, only, 10 years ago :-) I still use the email account I opened using Windows 95 :-)
