Someone should enter this at one of the speedrunning conventions. I'd love to watch a stream of someone installing Win95 in front of a huge audience, complete with commentary.

- tom_ 8y ago"Over to IFuckedUrMom666, retired former Windows 95 installation champion, for some extra commentary." "Thanks Jeff. Yeah, we'll have to see how this plays out, but I'm tentatively calling this one as maybe not a mistake. By leaving IPX support in, there's an extra 198 sectors to copy - but you save 39ms later from reduced install logging, as there's never any IPX check failures from the network infrastructure. He's been playing such a straight-up game here so far, so this is actually quite interesting - we might be seeing hints here of the bolder, gutsier play that he's going to have to bring to the table far more often to later stages. The Plus! installation round in particular is not for the faint-hearted." "IFuckedUrMom666 - thanks. We'll be back for more analysis later."

- Quekid5 8y agoIt would be great to have a Win95 speed run on SGDQ or similar. :)
