Hello MArkflour,

From the Microsoft Timeline:

1985:  Win1.0 ships with a retail price of $100.
1987:  Win 2.0 is released with a retail price of $100.

1995:  Windows 95 $100 retail price

?The company hopes to distribute 30 million copies of Windows 95 this
year following an Aug. 24 release - and 100 million copies by the end
of 1998. That's a lot of loot for Microsoft given that it keeps about
half of the product's $100 retail price.?
