It may be instructive to look at the windows update website (windowsupdate.microsoft.com), and note the fine print towards the left of the page. Check out the Win95 Legacy page it references. P.S., you have to be running Win95 to find it. The browser lets the site know what platform you are running on, and "customizes" what you can see. For instance, I cannot find that page browsing from IE6/NT4. James H.

It appears that without telling anyone Microsoft decided the Internet Explorer Admin Kit version 6.0 which generates a custom IE web browser for ISP's would no longer support Windows 95. I do not know about the rest of you however, I have many Windows 95 users still signing on to my service. I think it is time to let Microsoft know our displeasure about this clear abuse of their monopoly position. Once someone else confirms this behavior, I intend to raise a stink with the national news media, the federal government and the nine states that are still suing Microsoft.
