Just to have an icon of evil..

I'd heard rumors you can order a disc with XP SP2 on it, for free, from MS's website.

Granted, I don't own a copy of XP, legit or otherwise.

I don't really want to. But if I need something to call on in some dank, Hellblazer-ish incantation, an SP2 disc would come in handy.

I can't find the exact page though. Anyone else know what it is?

That sounds about right. Don't have a copy of Win95 anymore so I can't tell for sure.

I had it on CD so that was just a guess.

Ah, in that case count up the number of CAB files. It's one CAB file to a floppy (MS used some obscure format to get more than 1.44MB on a floppy disk).

Come to think of it, the CABs are numbered so just see what the number of the last one is.

I would but I lost my Win 95 CD years ago, which kinda sucks 'cause it was an original PRE-IE CD of Win 95.

PRE-IE? That's old!

The nearest I got to that was a Win95 box I was using to transfer MO discs to CD-R (and by MO I mean one of those external full-height SCSI jobbies that's slower than the 4x burner), and that had something like IE 2 on it. Worked well enough, just didn't support any standard apart from GIF, JPEG and some ancient form of HTML. Wish I'd kept a copy of it - would have made a very secure web browser!
