Not sure why... Micro$oft is rarely compatible with itself, even on the

Good point, well made!
No web
browser - IE came in the Plus Pack, a paid-for
optional extra.
Which not many people paid for... ;-)

No CD key
Bzzt. Wrong. Original Win95, at least the [very early] CD-ROM versions that
I worked with, did require a CD key... and you had to be careful to type in
the capital -OEM- by hand; most people typed it in lowercase, and it would
not pass the checksum test.
Win95A (and up) changed this to 'assume' uppercase.

I do believe you're right. My apologies. Didn't it take the standard MS
11111-111-11111
code, tho'? Or
11112-111-11111
if the 1st didn't work? That worked on most things.
