1996 Common Windows Computer Programs and Specs

DrRogueTech · Aug 19, 2013

So I am trying to restore an old COMPAQ Presario machine, I have no QuickRestore disk or anything of that sort (besides a Windows 95 OSR2 CD-ROM) so I am wondering, what were the most popular programs (not games) in mid-1996? Thanks!

Well, I remember Office 1997, we had Winzip, and we had the virtual Museum? Can't recall the name. But it was a great success.

Office 95 was just gaining acceptance.
FoxPro or Oracle for a database.
Java 1.0
Netscape Navigator 2.0
QuatroPro
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake I

I saw a scan from a Best Buy ad from like 1997 a while back, and man I couldn't believe some of the PC prices. Like $299 for a 20GB (!) hard drive. And a 14" CRT monitor was a mere $499. :lol:
