Just a little over ayear ago I needed Win95 for some silly reason. My
diskette version had been "loaned" out to someone and was gone who
remembers where. I bought a NEW, sealed, retail Win95 on eBay for very
litle. When I opened it I discovered it was a manufacturer screw up and
two disks were stuck together by the ink. So I now have two. To top it
all off it is a better Win95 than I had before because it has USB support.
The point of all this is that even though Microsoft stops selling it
there will be copies available for quite some time. Because of demand
the price will probably be much higher than my Win95. BUT they will be
available.
