The Intel Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) specification revision

Windows XP SP1 was released on September 9, 2002, which was the first time
Microsoft released any USB 2.0 support.
Windows 2000 SP4 was released on June 26, 2003, which is when Microsoft
released USB 2.0 support ported back to Windows 2000.
I do remember that, because I carried around a USB key with an
assortment of service packs, IE installers, etc. and it was sooooooo
slow to copy W2K SP4 onto a machine -- until you had SP4 installed...
At that point in time Windows Me was essentially dead
and had been for a
while. No one at Microsoft was interested in the effort required to port
USB 2.0 support back to Windows Me.
OK, fair enough. I concede.
I stand by the 95 stuff, though.
95/95A: FAT16 only, no USB.
95B: FAT32, USB, no IE4, no standard upgrade path.
95C: USB + IE4.
98 onwards: USB as standard; upgrades from 95 supported.
