> Did people really line up to buy an Operating System?
Yes. I worked in government sales (think wear a suit, meet with people at their office) for CompUSA in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had to come in the night of the release and work on the retail floor (the first, last and only time I worked on the retail floor). We had a DJ, free bunny suit dolls from Intel, and a line that went half-way around the parking lot. The best part is all the employees got a free "Window95 w/Plus pack" and a bonus for working that night. It was a lot of fun, and Windows95 was that big of a deal, even in Indiana.
