Mum Tries Out Windows 95 (1995)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Windows 95 was the big revolutionary operating system that set in place a lot of the common UI elements we see in modern operating systems today a little like FenOS will completely revolutionize the computer operating system world later this year.
Diana, now a windows 8 user got to step back in time and experience the past once again. Windows 95 revolutionized the future of operating systems so we decided to revolutionize our videos with a new recording standard we will continue to use in all future videos. Say goodbye to shaky cams and say hello to green screens ;)
More info on Windows 95 here: en.wikipedia.or...
Don't forget to visit the OSFirstTimer forums here: osfirsttimer.fr...
Tasks Given:
- What time is it?
- Set the Correct Time
- Calculate 95 x 98
- Change the desktop background
- Further Customize Windows 95
- Find a Windows 95 Tutorial
- Paint a picture in paint
- Explore the computer yourself
- Turn off the computer
The mother in this video uses Windows 8.0 (2012) as her main os however she has installed the classic shell due to her Metro Hate. Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as FenOS (2014)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
Much better and more professional Philip we'll done. Love the chroma key as we'll

I miss Windows 95. So simple. The pre- Big Brother days. I'm still on Windows 7, but I'll probably be leaving windows for good soon. I actually found this video while searching for linux videos :)
@Matteo Wible not as trash as your comment. OHHHH SNAP!
@Matteo Wible (I'm 100% joking. I just couldn't resist. Forgive me 😁)
@Matteo Wible Considering Linux itself isn't necessarily an OS, that's an invalid statement lol.
Have you moved yet? If so don’t blame you
bruh why windows 7, a good windows 10 version is out *sees 4 years ago thing* Still prefer
Lol, look at all these upgrades you are suggesting. Before long we probably are going to be begged to get mics, then get 2 more cameras so I can be on the desktop with my mum and have a camera mounted behind us so you can see the screen occasionally. Before you know it we will probably have us both testing out the operating system on two different computers at the same time and have the cameras flick between us to see what interesting things each of us are doing with the operating system...
If things keep progressing like this OSFirstTimer could probably turn into "People react to operating systems". Could you imagine... "Kids react to DOS", "Old people react to Windows 8"... Lol, could OSFirstTimer ever go too far? Tell me what you think...
***** Once I do a review of it to ensure its the real deal...
***** I don't think it's currently necessary to buy another 2 1080p cameras and mics. Next thing you know we will be wearing and selling OSFirstTimer themed t-shirts... Upgrades need to be done incrementally and overtime just like the evolution of most operating systems.
The greenscreen is a little weird. Can you try a facecam type thing like what you did on TerrifiedMum?
I would go away when all the traditional OSFirstTimer things change, like "Mum Tries Out" is fine, but "Kids react" is just NOT what I want to see. If I wanted to see that I would search for it. But I like how YOU guys react and tell us things about the operating system (like a mini review, which you do right now). This is just my opinion and advice to you.
OSFirstTimer is for me just Philip and Diana, and not the whole world. It so sad that UA-cam channels (in general) always take away the personality of the channel when they grow.
It appears we are getting very mixed opinions in regards to our new recording format. So we are thinking of using a second camera (1080p webcam or later down the track a secondary camera) to record on a tripod from behind. The views can then switch between Diana on the desktop and Diana looking at the computer from her chair.
To help with the small text issues we can have the screen recorder zoom in on certain screen elements that we are talking about in the video so you get the professional version of the old amateur zoom in on the screen in early OSFirstTimer videos without the shaky effect
Our next video was was recorded back to back with this episode and should be up tomorrow. However since it has already been filmed it uses the exact same format as this Windows 95 episode. It already takes hours to edit OSFirstTimer videos and with my full time daycare center job it would be practically impossible to spend even more time editing the videos.
If we ever got as many views and subs as smosh then this could be our full time job and the videos would be even better.
Tell me about it I have been wanting to upload my grandmother trying out newer operating systems than she is used to but I am so busy with homework and school and projects and things that I'm just not even worried about editing the videos at this point. Also I'm having trouble with my VMware any advice on reinstalling it to get it running again without losing all my virtual PCs?
Try VirtualBox, or run a live disk/live USB
yes do that. this is a bad method.
The next video is not up now.
I thought this OS wouldn't be tried.
Love the new look! Nice job on the keying!
Your Mum is so funny.
@@GManWrites uhm thats not osfirsttimer
@@vickygardiner3375 Explain please because I don't understand your comment.
@@GManWrites 5 years late but the person you commented under was not OSFirsttimer. Unless you knew who you were commenting
For the next episode I will experiment with using different view ports on the screen so it zooms in on what we are doing. This well delay the next video however until next weekend. The episode has been filmed but I can add the zoom in / view port effect for the screen as I edit the video.
Can you do Firefox os
Please switch the camera back. I want to see her typing. I miss the forever look! ;(
Put the cam on a stand or something.
Rebecca Kirk It was released on *August 24, 1995*.
Rebecca Kirk You're welcome.
Great. :) Nice to see another Windows OS covered. Reminds me of the time I spent tinkering with Chicago builds in my video series. :)
In Microsoft Windows, the Briefcase is a special folder that supports a simple two-way file synchronization between itself and another folder. The Briefcase is designed for mobile PC users so that they may transfer it to a removable drive and have it synchronize with the computer to which the removable drive is attached. It follows the same metaphor as the file and file folder and then, while the file management tasks are performed by Windows Explorer, the briefcase behaves just like another folder, i.e. with support for copy-paste and drag-and-drop. It has additional functions and toolbar buttons for updating out-of-sync files. The Windows Briefcase was introduced in Windows 95[1] and deprecated (although not entirely removed) in Windows 8.
Also Love The Bloopers part. that should be a permanent thing
It will be!
Cool!
Win95 was a truly great OS. In my school we used Apple computers, but we had a Windows computer at home. I figured out how to do everything when I was about 7-8 years old on Win95. I "customized the hell out of it", added passwords, installed games, etc. I didn't use the Internet in those days, because there was no phone line in my bedroom, but I used Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works to produce text documents, greeting cards, and all sorts of things.
My sister used Windows 98 for quite a while, and eventually turned down the Apple macintosh path. My mom got a new computer in 2000 with Windows ME. Horrible "upgrade" of Win98 really. It was very buggy and crashed a lot. I continued to use Win95 until 2007 when I got a new computer with Vista on it. It was pretty looking, but quite buggy. Now I'm using Windows 7, and I have been since 2010. I plan on building a new PC this year, and I'll probably make the switch to Windows 10.
I wish I'd been born 10 or 15 years earlier, so I could have gotten into computer technology a lot earlier when these groundbreaking advancements were being made. I was only 3 years old when Win95 was introduced.
To be honest I prefer the old setup much more. I find it both, more professional and more personal. Why not combine both? Use the old one most of the time and then use the new one when you only want to show the screen?
I agree.
Kanimir We are reading everyone's comments and trying to find a way to satisfy the most people. No point doing something that people don't like. We are experimenting at the moment......
Love the bloopers in each episode! A suggestion: Use another camera on a tripod to film like before, next to your mum, and switch between that and the keyed footage from time to time. The amateurish look is kinda the charm of this show and I don't think you should remove it completely. ;)
Nyaots Thanks, will give it a thought.
Just looked up FenOS...looks promising. It would be nice to have programmers being able to continue to program in the ways they are used to while having anybody be able to purchase their software and just have it work.
I remember when Windows 95 came out - I was a senior in high school (Class of '96). My computer teacher was taking about the new features that she liked in Windows 95 - the ability to save files with a name of more than 8 characters. Windows 95 changed the way we used PCs. It's the first version that you didn't have to boot to DOS. At school we using DOS and WordPerfect 5.1. 1995 is the last time I used a typewriter. We had IBM computers in the library using Netscape Navigator. The school also had it's first webpage. Yes, we launch our first website in 1996.
I like the old format better
I don't like it too but it's something to get use to
TheLamerGamer
Dracstar Not necessarily, we are reading peoples comments and will be trying to do what the majority want.....
***** Display and UI settins are much better in Win9x and XP. Now it's a massive functionality-lacking mess.
***** 1024 x 768 wasn't good enough?
Vertex Not true, but it’s very outdated haha
A briefcase is like a folder, but when "copied" it is moved. It can only be in one spot at a time. It is good for moving files from one computer, working on it there, then moving it back. (Said at 4:24 time in video)
OMG, the setup is really awesome! Good idea!
pink and green linux distro... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!
if u listen here Phlip said at 2:39 "Write save and delete a text Document" but if u check in the description it doesn't say that in the "Given Task" :D
I did not know Windows 95 had a tutorial... Or that it was quite good!
Congratulations on 23,000 subscribers! :-)
Thanks...we can't believe it ourselves!!!
+MCTucker Videos Already more than that, dude
***** thanks c:
Love the new layout!
Ad or not, this kid and his Mum are a delight! :D
Love the new setup! I was nearly crying at the bloopers, very funny haha
Nice! This video was announced on the OSFirstTimer forum about 2 days ago.
The soldier who set the groundwork for our windows 7,xp,vista and all those other windows os's
The shaky cam had so much more personality...
"I don't know how many people would sit and watch [Windows 95] screen savers"
Me as a child from approximately 2000-2005 disagrees!
Briefcase is just their version of dropbox. It syncs files across 2+ computers. (Well, it kinda started the whole cloud sync thing)
Correcto
"95 x 98" Get It Windows 95 And Windows 98

Great video. It's funny when Phillip says however and Diana mouths it lol
The ol days of Windows 95, Goddamn it's been quite a while!.
I like the new format of the videos. I had to chuckle a bit when you two described the phone dialer as a Skype-type program. You do realize that Windows 95 was released back in the day that land-line phone modems were still popular, right? So unless you have a modem (back then, it was probably at best a 56 kbps connection, a far cry from today's broadband options), I don't think you would be able to use the program today. And Skype-style video chats definitely were not possible.
The briefcase is separate because it was special, it let you synchronise files across multiple computers. Think of it as a very primitive version of Dropbox :)
Yeah I like seeing how Diana reacts and seeing more of her, then just her face. Gives it more of a human feel, then just a a face virtually put there by green screen.
My Briefcase is a type of folder designed so that you can exchange information from your laptop to your desktop. Like the 1995 version of the cloud.
I've watched OSFirstTimer for over a year and I love it! I wish I could help making different language versions... lol
I think it would be cool if you could have Diana do other stuff besides the standare check the time, write, save, open a text document and customize things. You could have her install a program, print something, or browse the web.
It's actually really cool that the VM runs at 1920x1080 (if your monitor runs at 1920x1080 as well) because then it's almost like you're using the OS...
Congratulations on almost 83K subscribers! I hope you'll hit 100K subscribers or more this year!
windows 95 in 1440p :)
Actually just in 1080p otherwise the text would be too small.
OSFirstTimer ok thanks for the reply nice video anyway :)
A small operating system with a huge amount of workspace. They used a driver to do that.
Well, Diana already opened 'My Briefcase' in Windows ME.
95 x 98 | If anyone didn't realise it was for Windows 95 and Windows 98
XD
Good one Philip!
Windows 95 is my First OS that I've ever had in my life, I had it in 1999. But it was my parent's computer, I am born in the Same year as Microsoft Windows 95 came out.
I like the new setup, but I think it would be a lot easier to follow if you zoomed in on the places Diana is at on the screen. Great video!
We are working on doing exactly that on our next video right now.
Great! I'm looking forward to it :)
the view from the window is sooo beautiful
Farewell shaky cam. Hope you have a good life!
The Mircosoft Sound is awesome
I LOVE THE NEW SETUP =D
I miss shaky cam. Bring back shaky cam. :)
yeah, I like shaky cam!!!!!!
The shaky revolution
Interesting view on FenOS - Also great Video as usual But ! Not hating the new format but maybe mix it up a bit with real face shots also ?
21:52. Did you just tell your son to piss off? Lol. Meany mum.
wow. such nostalgia. many memories.
I believe briefcases were made to easily share file between computers.
I just deleted them all...
Ps I kind of like the shakey cam better
What the
Looking forward to seeing that FenOS test video. This video was good.
I'm addicted to your channel
Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers!
Aqua Technologies jk
It's 2021 and FenOS is still not out. I can see why. We haven't fully reverse engineered Windows (remember, it is a propietary operating system), so some complex programs will not run on WINE. This is even more so for macOS. It doesn't even have a compatibility layer that is fit for everyday use.
Windows 95: 20 years later, and still starting up.
Its a vm, not real hardware
To set the desktop background, you can also click "Set as wallpaper" in the file menu in Paint.
My dad and I were talking about win 95 the other day. man the UI was very limited back then, but from transitioning from dos to a GUI was a big thing! sometimes software is so cool
I really enjoy what you do. Thank you for entertaining me. From Chicago
OSFirstTimer, Could you make Diana test ShiftOS? Maybe in the TerrifiedMum channel?
Where?
I used to have a 95 computer when I was younger, I think briefcase was like a program that would copy files between 2 computers somehow. I really have no idea how it worked though...
oh that 3d flowerbox screensaver brings back so many memories ;)
Ahh the nostalgia.....Changing the desktop background to something funny or rude in school >>>__
Teachers were baffled...
I love your bedroom view of the sea :D
a briefcase is a folder that you can transfer the file to the next pc but in windows 8 they removed it because you could just put it on a usb or transfer it on windows
Honestly, I liked it with the camera, I do not like that green screen thing. It just ruined the whole video and it just showed the OS and the person on the screen very small. I am not going to enjoy future videos if videos stay like this. I am not trying to rude or anything.
JustACommenter232 Thank you for your comment. We are just trying new things as we wanted to be more professional for you guys. We are reading peoples comments and taking it all on board. If too many people do not like this then obviously we need to go with what the majority want. At the moment just trying a few different things based upon peoples suggestions etc Hopefully one day we find a way that will satisfy everyone!!!! Now won't that be a big challenge for us!!!
Diana: wow this is so immersive

Happy Easter
I'll miss you shaky-cam! ;(
Windows 95 was released 19 years today, on Aug 24, 1995
The new format is cool
The webcam is like Diana just jumped from the taskbar
I have wanted that experience forever
You have 91k congrats on your successful UA-cam channel.
4:20 Briefcases can sync between different computers. I use it for backups, if something gets corrupt on a trip.
I believe my first two computers had Windows 95.
Me on Windows XP in 2020 realising that this os that they're testing is only 6 years younger than mine....
I think in this new format it would be better if we could see both of you.
you need a philipcam too
Finally, she tested it out.
Thanks, you opened my briefcase :)
On my large monitor, the first pattern she chose looked like it was moving like water. I think I need to lay down

Haven't you ever just sat and watched the Microsoft 3D Maze screensaver? It's memorizing.
I like the new OSFirstTimer, maybe you could also review laptops/hardware on another channel?
"Throw the briefcase away into the recycle bin" :O
OsFirstTimer experience xxxxxxxxxxxxxtreme edition.
The new experience is awesome! Love the upgrade.
I preferd the shaking cam method
That new format of your show is interesting even though I've seen this at Spatry's cup of Linux. And I liked that shaky camera :)
Btw, why won't you be together "on the screen" during the OS testing?
Did you see the bloopers at the end....we argue too much when sitting together!! :)
OSFirstTimer I saw bloopers, but in my opinion, that would be cool if you're together on the screen exactly during the testing os.
:)
Hi, your mum made me smile.
Mum tries to setup a raspberry pi?
YES!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES
today this video is 2 years old.
I thought already you made this video xD
