They will normally install it for you, but you still need to pay for it

Easy to use and easier to fix than OS2 (depends on your definition of FIX
though).

The underlying structure is CONFIG.SYS and a maze of INI files (usually
with setup programs to edit them for you). Slightly more difficult to find,
and attempt to understand than a GUI system.

And the latest FAT uses 4k upto 7 gig, which is plenty for the average home
user (which is what 95 is for).
