August 24, 1995 was the day when Microsoft released its first true GUI based Operating System named as Windows 95. Windows 95 spread like a jungle fire and within two post-release months, over one million "registered" copies were sold and pirated ones are even un-countable.
Although, speaking in terms of real numbers, Windows 95 accounts for just over one percent of the Windows client operating environment installed base total today but Microsoft's officials have admitted that one of their biggest challenges in continuing to grow the company's Windows business is the impression among some of its installed base that older Windows versions are good enough.
