Features

Click on to the Internet!

• Microsoft Plus! is a fast, easy way to get on the Internet. An easy sign-up wizard quickly configures your PC to surf the information highway*
  
• You also get Microsoft Internet Explorer, a sophisticated World Wide Web browser that enables you to drag and drop data between the World Wide Web, FTP (file transfer protocol), gopher, and your desktop.

• At regularly scheduled times, or when you're not using your PC, the Microsoft Plus! System Agent automatically tunes your system, performing tasks such as disk optimization and error correction
  
• The Microsoft Plus! System Agent can run any application at prescheduled times
  
• Microsoft Plus! includes an enhanced version of the DriveSpace^™ disk-compression utility—optimized for 486 or Pentium^® processors—that gives you extra space. So you can choose up to 50 percent more compression and store up to 2 gigabytes of data on compressed volumes, depending on your system configuration
  
• Working with the System Agent in Microsoft Plus!, the Compression Agent can automatically recompress data during system idle time, delivering higher compression ratios and more free disk space. Because the Compression Agent runs during system idle time, it can also enhance your system's overall speed
  
• Dial-Up Networking server—Turn your computer into a Dial-Up Networking server that lets your small office or workgroup share data remotely.

• Microsoft Plus! makes Windows 95 come alive with 12 colorful desktop themes that dramatically enhance the look and sound of your PC. Each desktop theme incorporates many interface components such as new sound schemes, wallpaper, screen savers, 3-D icons, fonts, cursors, and color schemes. The Microsoft Plus! Desktop Themes feature unifies all of these components thematically
  
• Customize your system with your choice of themes: Science, The '60s USA, Leonardo da Vinci, Dangerous Creatures, Sports, The Golden Era, Inside Your Computer, Mystery, Nature, Travel, Windows 95, and More Windows
  
• The theme switcher lets you coordinate and switch all of these themes quickly and easily
  
• Font Smoothing is an anti-aliasing and hinting feature that makes fonts easier to read
  
• Full Window Drag means that the entire contents of a window are dragged as solid blocks instead of outlines. Full Window Drag makes resizing windows easier, because you can see the window content as it is being resized.

• 3-D Pinball in Microsoft Plus! is one of a new generation of exciting, full-motion games for Windows 95 that looks, sounds, and plays like the real thing.
