Hi Ana,

Since you are asking about software, you really should have
posted a new question on the PCSOFT list.  However, since you asked...

Win95  = original release
Win95A = original release plus Service Release 1
          (what we used to call bug fixes)
Win95B Release 2.0 = not-for-retail edition designed for installation on
                     a new PC (IMHO this is how MS has cleverly divested
                     themselves of any responisbility for support)
                     Hey, it's a great gig, if you can swing it... build
                     a product and not have to worry about support OR
                     warranty issues.
Win95B Release 2.1 = 95B plus USB support
Win95B Release 2.5 = 95B + USB + MSIE4.01
                     (many vendors have started calling this 95C
                      but MS still calls it 95B)
