Oh my yes.
I signed up for a Microsoft Developer Network subscription, only $2000 per year, and they sent me just about every product they made, on CD-ROM.
The Windows 95 CD ROM had a script that would write out the set of floppy disks. It was a long and tedious process, but to keep you entertained, you could watch the Weezer music video that sprawled across the unused hundreds of megabytes of the rest of the CD. If you had a workstation powerful enough to handle video.
(I used those floppy disks to load up Windows 95 in a virtual machine on a Mac. Connectix Virtual PC, soon afterwards aquired by Microsoft. I started the boot process once it was installed, then I had to go to a meeting. Came back about 30 minutes later, just in time to see the boot process complete and display the Windows 95 desktop.)
