'''Windows 95''' is a consumer-oriented [[graphical user interface]]-based [[operating system]]
Windows 95 was intended to integrate Microsoft's formerly separate [[MS-DOS]] and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] products. It featured significant improvements over the popular [[Windows 3.1]], most visibly the [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) whose basic format and structure is still used in later versions such as [[Windows Vista]]. There were also large changes made to the underlying workings, including support for 255-character mixed-case [[long filename]]s and preemptively multitasked protected-mode 32-bit applications. Whereas the previous versions of Windows were optional "operating environments" requiring the MS-DOS operating system (usually available separately), Windows 95 was a consolidated operating system, which was a significant marketing change.
