Delprat Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) this is beginning to become a huge post lol, thanks delprat for the information.you forgot the two first Win95 editions (before the 4.00.950a, there were the "gold" or "vanilla" 4.00.950)In fact, there were more than "Win95, Win95a, Win95b & Win95c".If i remember correctly :Win95a : "OEM Service Release 1" (or "OSR-1") were only released to OEMs (no box edition)Win95b : "OSR-2" were released into a box, and OSR-2.1 were released to OEMs (there were two different Win95b, both had a boot screen saying "with Internet Explorer", but OSR-2.1 had updated drivers/binaries)Win95c : "OSR-2.5" were released only to OEMs, and added USB (USB support also released as hotfixes)I'm sure i'm don't recall exactly, but i'm also sure there is gold (floppies/CD), osr 1, osr 2, osr 2.1 and osr 2.5 : 6 editions.edit: now, that's really insane ++ Edited July 3, 2006 by Delprat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

os2fan2 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have a version of Windows 2.11 (w286 and w386 versions) and 3.01 lieing around here. Also, you forget WinOS/2 in 3.0 and 3.1 versions (i have both!). Although WinOS/2 3.1 has been upgraded with successive versions of OS/2 (ie 2.1, 2.3, 2.31, 2.4, 2.45, 2.451), it does not really count, i suppose...Windows 3.0 also has a subspecies Win30mm (multimedia extensions), but this is rare and hard to come by).There's also Windows 3.2 as well, it's a chinese release, though.Of the Win9x, i usually rate 5 releases, egOS/R1 = 950, 950aOS/R2 = 1111, 1212, 1214OS/R3 = 1998 (98fe) = OS/R4 = 2222 (98se) = suckers editionOS/R5 = 3000 (98me) = multiple errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
