Here’s a little bit of trivia: Intel’s fabrication plants still use a number of stand-alone Windows 95 computers as station controllers in the production of modern, 64-bit processors.

Seems that Windows 95 runs just great unless you let people near it.

I still have Windows 98SE running as a virtual PC on my Windows Vista laptop.

It runs an old game that, for some reason, only worked if the DVD drive was mapped to D. Any other letter, and the game wouldn't see it.

Win95 (and 98) allow direct hardware calls to be made.

I worked for a place where some of their automation was still running under DOS 5.0. Worked fine. :-)

I have trouble believing that. W95 uptime can be measured in attoseconds.
