- EDIT (1/27/2023): It appears Wikipedia is wrong yet again in their claims that IE 1.0 was released on the 16th of August, as it actually just released the same day Windows 95 launched!

Internet Explorer 1.0 was released 27 years ago, at least according to various sources. With that, I present some supremely rare footage of various websites browsed under a beta version of IE 1.0 under a late pre-release build of Windows 95! Because this is from 1995, the assets for these sites shown here are probably lost forever or otherwise locked away in Microsoft's archive - as for one; the Wayback Machine did not exist yet, and the Internet had a smaller number of users compared to even the following year. From what's shown here, there's a revision of Microsoft's website that hasn't been seen since then, as well as a forgotten online variant of Microsoft Encarta known as the "Intro Edition" hosted on the Microsoft Network!
These clips were taken from the sixth segment of the Windows 95 Traincast series. The title is an homage to DiamondGB's video of the Internet on April 4th, 1998.

I love how they kept all of the load times in there.
it's because a bunch of it is a giant damn GIF , because it's 1995 and you couldn't lay things out for crap
5:43 you can hear him laugh at how slow it is
@@mikethewolfboyo He was laughing at how incredibly fast it was. In 1995, we were amazed at this speed.
No he is sniffing
@@rudeboyrgstill quicker than going to library and searching in books
Wild to be reminded just how slow the internet was back when.
I like the gray background. Doesn't tax the eyes. This is when the internet was "quiet" and the only buzzing places were chatrooms and forums.
The birth of a legendary browser. Thank you for your service, Internet Explorer.
i remember when people hated internet epxlorer for being slow... now people are using it as an object for shilling out of pure nostalgia
@@realslimsh8y I used IE6 all the way until I moved to Windows 7 in 2010, and it has never slowed down on me. Then again, I was still quite young.
oh my the nostalgia feels, take me back!
4:17 I like how you can faintly hear his Modem making a dial connection.
And you can also faintly hear the fans of the computer which have been filtered out with noise reduction.
Wow it was so slow!
Still it must have been mind-blowing back in 1995!
Was slow but people didn't realize how slow. We were still a few years away from cable modem and DSL connections becoming widely available.
Seeing that “Where Do You Want to Go Today?” banner upon startup is such a beautiful sight to see. I adore that slogan.
I love how he's literally giggling at how slow the network speeds are.
Before we realized how slow dial-up was. Back then it was a big deal just to be connected.
I’m getting all nostalgic at those slow loading times. Ah simpler times.
damn this was before any website have some ads on it
I have VHS video of working on my Geocities page in February 1997, not from a computer, but a Sega Saturn NetLink. It's not quite this quality, but I did upload it! I miss those days even if they were slow.
As someone born post-Y2k, the original Microsoft Network software has always seemed so mysterious to me. I didn't even know before this that you could use it PPP/TCPIP style like that. From what I've seen from the video clips I can find, how closely integrated it looks with WinExplorer is just fascinating. Really wish someone could dissect this and reanimate parts of it like the Escargot project.
There are a few people working on this, but it is an effort that will take quite some time.
4:33 Ah the nostalgia of that sound lol
-"She doesn't answer me, is probably with other boy"
-My wi-fi:
This was him showing how offline browsing and browser caching worked :) I may have watched the whole of the Traincast series last week while at work. Had it on in the background.
The sound of that keyboard typing away in search really took me back to the mid 90s
Oh my god, it's like I'm really going through a time machine back into the 1990's. Siiiiiiick.
Back then www meant wait, wait, wait.😄
I don't know why Microsoft discarded the Welcome to Internet Explorer homepage, it really looked nice and it was quite an useful tool
Probably because everyone already knows how to use the Internet.

1995 I was starting my apprenticeship as a computer worker (there is no simple translation from german to english for this profession, though) in a small software development company.
Being 18 years old, I had never seen internet or other online services.
The company only had one modem (a 28.8 KB modem) and it was in the office of my boss. You had to have a good reason for it to use.
Online time was very expensive back then, like 5 or 10 USD per hour. We had a CompuServe account, so you paid CS per minute plus phone line per minute.
CS did not use Internet Explorer (company had not migrated to Win95 in summer '95...) but NSCA mosaic which worked on Win 3.1.
Some PC magazines had CD ROMs with offline web pages on them so people could see how the web looked like.
It was a very different time.
IE was not dominant in mid 1995, Netscape and to a significance extent Mosaic was. Only when IE 3 was released was it basically on-par with Netscape in rendering and functionally. Remember the whole Java Apps vs. ActiveX debates?
on the very first day of Internet ♥
Ahhh, the slow load times
Loading is like watching paint dry
This is the last time that the Dallas cowboys were relevant.
We remember Netscape Navigator..
I miss the 90s i was born january 15,1995
i was born 23rd march 1995 but i don't remember lot of the 90s, early-2000s are as early as i can recall :(
"World Wide Web page"?
This is a extremely valious video.
7:53 Was this the standard font on the header of the savas as dialog? 😂 Or why did he choose such a horrible font
I imagine this looks like the Stone Age to kids today. But that's how it all started for our generation almost 30 years ago.
Así se pone los datos de tres días de claro cuando lo uso una hora
Aku merindukan masa-masa ketika untuk membuka 1 jpg harus loading beberapa menit 😅
2:03 very slow the internet old days
honestly nothing to do at that time, no community(maybe newsboard or some shit),no browser game, ..etc
Internet Explorer was just called "The Internet" on the desktop lol.
It was creating associations. Even after 2010 older users identified internet with IE.
