The reason the Windows 95 interface was so much better than what came before it was because Microsoft did loads of user testing and changed their design heavily based on it.
- asdf21 7y agoAnd imo it's still basically the best design. 98 and XP were basically just flavors of win95 and those were everyone's favorite, UI wise.
- plopz 7y agoI'm still using Windows 7 with the classic theme because its just such a good design.
- c12 7y agoWhen I couldn't figure out how to change windows 10 to look like windows 98 I installed linux with a windows98 UI and haven't been happier. I still think Windows 3.1 was peak UI though ;)
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y agoI completely agree. There have been some improvements in the design (XP and Vista's Start Menu changes, XP and 7's Task Bar changes) but they're incremental ones, and Microsoft's attempts at big changes have not gone well.
