So was there a Windows 95 (4.00.950) Full Retail CD-ROM version?

Hi guys,

I have been reading on the internets for several days trying to find a definitive answer to the question - was there a legit Windows 95 US-English Full Retail CD-ROM edition back in 1995? Thus far, I have not been able to find a convincing answer, even though some posts on different forums/boards claim so.

On Archive.org I was able to spot a full retail edition which came on floppy disks; several fake CD-ROM images are also available, as well as images from the OEM CD-ROM (which people often confuse with the Retail version, as it seems).

So I'd appreciate it if someone with legit experience / knowledge shed light on this issue. Thanks muchos in advance.

Best!

Our college campus sold Win 95 *upgrade* cd-rom in the bookstore.

ie, it did NOT have the "for sale only with new pc" printed on the disk.

Not sure if that helps you, but to me, if it was sold SEPARATE from a new pc and sold at a college campus bookstore, that tells me "retail".

You might try looking through *EBAY* listings, that may be a better source than any source including "fake cd-rom images".
