My point was you didn;t have to install it, it was already there!

And you believe what microsoft says do you?

>There were no "Win95SE"! :-) Retail 4.00.950, Retail SP1 4.00.950A, OSR1
>4.00.950A, OSR2 4.00.1111 (4.00.950B), OSR2.1 4.03.1212-1214
>(4.00.950B), OSR2.5 4.03.1214 (4.00.950C).

And you don;t include the osr's as win95se much liek everybosy else?
Hey that's what it would have been called if they'd realised they could flog it
at retail too! anyway...

>But look at the Subject: line - we're just speaking about 'what software

But even then we've streched a little!
