My employer is using it every day in special-to-type test equipment; the
test procedure was written around a '95 machine, and works perfectly
satisfactorily; not only would amending the test procedure to a more
modern OS cost a fortune by the time it had been tested and approved by
all those who would have to do so, it would also yield no advantage
whatsoever that I can think of.

(It is not networked equipment - truly standalone.)

FWIW, they're also using some DOS, some BBC Master, some NT (3.51 I
think), and probably (though I don't think I've seen any) some Windows
3.x, all in similar situations (built-in equipment). Much of it also
connected to impact ("dot matrix") printers.

I still use Win95, one could call it "retro computing". I have a Pentium 133
mhz box that came with Win95 OSR1. I have kinda restored it, 16 MegŽs of
RAM, all the applications on it and peripherals, (monitor, keyboard, mouse,
modem, printer) are from the same era, or older.
I use it for e-mail, internet, text-editing and reading/posting newsgroups.

Ok, it looks like we will be using it for a decade... :

Thanks for your answers.

I resurrected my Pentium 233MMX desktop. I put XP Home on it but
everything run to slow. I still have Win95 and Win98 installation CDs.
I plan on starting with the Win95 tonight. Just for kicks.

(I'd go for 98lite on such a system.) I use a '95 system every day at
work - it is the heart of a piece of test equipment. (The equipment it
actually tests is extremely sophisticated, too, despite the age of the
OS in the equipment that tests it.)
