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:
