I remember Chicago (Win95) as "Oh that's interesting, they wrote a small kernel to run NT userspace code on old PCs." It also supported NT NDIS drivers (supposedly the same binaries, although initially I'm not sure that actually worked) which was interesting to me at the time since I worked for a company that made network interface hardware for weird mainframe networks, and the associated terminal emulation and file transfer applications. Since we had beta builds for months (years?) prior, there was no launch hysteria. It was always obvious this was a stop-gap measure only for as long as retail users wouldn't pay for a system with enough memory to run NT. That took 6 years -- bit more than I would have expected at the time.
