--Why was Win 95 a "product that most people really wanted to get on their desktop"? --

I don't know. It sure seems though that it was a lot more popular on the desktop than Solaris. Maybe that's what gets your goat. Perhaps "what works" isn't the same as "bulletproof."

Good question, I never thought about that. I think it must have something to do with a clean, icon-less user interface, and very easy to use.

A thing I liked very much was that ordinary users could not move icons around in the start menu, and they were always sorted. MSFT screwed up that one with Windows 98.
