I always figured that i was one of the ones late to the party.
i read about the work that was being done from then back to '91.
better late then never.

I never did W95.  i went from dos/Win3.1 to linux.
I had intended to go with freebsd, but while at a Hastings(bookstore) in San 
Marcos i came across a Linux cd(slackware) for sale real cheap.

so i tried it.  it wasn't pretty!
i could not get X to work right.
it was not a slackware problem it was a Xfree86 problem, but i did not know 
that at the time.  a few months later a found a infomagic 6 cd set. 
i tried the red hat and although it was not perfect, enough worked for me to 
make Linux my primary boot.

It's been getting better ever since.
