Enhanced error handling: Over the past 12 months, Microsoft has been working intensively on the bugs inherent in Windows 3.1. The result: an advanced operating system with greatly enhanced bugs. All of the Windows 3.1 bugs are present in Windows 95, and run faster than ever. We have also introduced a range of new bugs never before seen in an operating system of this type. Whether you are a professional programmer, a casual user, or a game player, Windows 95 offers a larger range of bugs than any other operating system on the market.
32-bit Memory Managment: Windows 95 offers full 32-bit management of 16 bit
memory. After a considerable amount of work, the familiar
"General Protection Fault" is nowhere
to be seen. The GPF has been replaced by two significantly improved errors:
* "Specific Protection Fault" - used to
corrupt an individual 16-bit process.
* "Global
Protection Fault" - this powerful memory management
facility will allow a corrupt process not only to corrupt all other running
processes, but corrupt processes on all other machines within a five-mile
radius.
Even now we are developing
"pre-emptive" memory management, which
will be able to corrupt processes which are not yet running.
Threaded Multi-Tasking: The cooperative multi-tasking found in Winodws 3.1
has now been replaced with the far more powerful
"uncooperative multi-tasking". This
enhancement will allow several processes to crash simultaneously. Our new
crash protection facility greatly enhances the multi-tasking environment.
Should one process fail, the CPF will prevent this process from being
disturbed by other cleanly running processes. The multi-threading
environment allows one process to generate multiple errors, while still
remaing seprate from other threads.
Time Saving Abilities: Everyone has had their system crash whilst editing a document that had not yet been saved. Re-entering the lost data can be frustrating and time-consuming. Windows 95 eliminates this problem by causing processes to crash much earlier, significantly reducing data loss.
So, anyone can see why Windows 95 offers greater power at a greater price than any other operating system available today. So, when choosing your next operating system, remember our motto:
Windows 95 - Tomorrow's Bugs, Today.
