    Windows 95 launched 15 years ago today, Mary Jo Foley reminds us.     Today, after 15 years of additional technology evolution--and after memories of the event have been obliterated by semi-annual blockbuster launches of Apple products--it's hard to believe that the Windows 95 launch was a big deal.   But it WAS.   In fact, it was a monstrous deal.   Windows 95 catapulted Microsoft into the mainstream consumer consciousness, in a way that no other Microsoft product ever had.

Produced on the IBM/GlobalFoundries 45nm process, it's fair to say that the new SoC (pictured above) is the first mass-market, desktop-class processor to combine a CPU, GPU, memory, and I/O logic onto a single piece of silicon.
