I do remember that, because I carried around a USB key with an
assortment of service packs, IE installers, etc. and it was sooooooo
slow to copy W2K SP4 onto a machine -- until you had SP4 installed...

OK, fair enough. I concede.

I stand by the 95 stuff, though.

95/95A: FAT16 only, no USB.

95B: FAT32, USB, no IE4, no standard upgrade path.

95C: USB + IE4.

98 onwards: USB as standard; upgrades from 95 supported.
