Ie wasn't even a factor until years later. There was no compelling reason to use anything other than ie until Firefox (to end users, Netscape and Mozilla was comparable to ie). It had no impact on the initial success of Windows. Netware failed because it was crap compared to windows 95 too. Their competitors simply didn't compare to windows 95. That's not bullying. They were too busy competing with windows 3.1

Windows 95 wasn't that unstable either. Maybe you had bad ram in your system or bad drivers . Sure the NT kernel was better, but Windows 95 was perfectly usable and was used. It did crash. But it wasn't a regular thing. You're acting like it happened daily.

Osx was only released in 2001 and macos required Apple hardware Windows 95 succeeded because it actually worked and had broad hardware support

You keep talking about IE, but Windows was successful before most people had the Internet. Internet explorer only became anti monopoly consideration because Windows had already managed to be

Also, how do you expect people to respond when you disrespect them and make assumptions about their experience and age to try to add credibility to your argument at their expense? If you don't know how old I am, don't assume I'm young. I'm not . And fyi, one of my projects was mentioned in Linux format 20 years ago, so don't assume I wasn't heavy into Linux either
