It’s a bit of mystery as to why there was anything carried over from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 at all. Most of the utilities brought in from the Win 3.1 environment were altogether useless in Win95, yet they were there anyway.
It is true that Microsoft is the grand champion when it comes to legacy support, but you have to remember that in 1995, MS wasn’t known for that, so.. I guess you could call this the beginnings of what they would be known for later?
