Did you know that Windows 95 was codenamed Chicago? That’s right, this consumer-oriented operating system featured significant improvements over its predecessor, most notably in the graphical user interface (GUI) and in its simplified “plug-and-play” features. On the technical side, major changes were made to the core components of the operating system, like moving from a mainly co-operatively multitasked 16-bit architecture to a 32-bit preemptive multitasking architecture.
