I would call Win 95 a high point also. I lived near Toronto at the time
and remember the unfurling of a huge Win 95 banner down one side. There were
events everywhere. MS was really at their zenith. The excitement around
that launch was like nothing since. I believe I got swept up and installed
it immediately but shortly after removed it. Couldn't get used to the
interface. Eventually for one reason or another I had to and did go back to
it. Wasn't the greatest or most stable OS and was kind of a half breed at
that, but man.. what I wouldn't give to feel the anticipation again, the
difference between it and DOS. Nothing released on either PC or Mac has come
close.

I have a "Windows '95 = Macintosh '89" pin on my iMac G4, as seen here:
