I shall not quibble about your point about the iSeries, but my new wireless
mouse (from Microsoft) does not work on Win 95. Now you could say
that nobody is "forcing" me to buy a wireless mouse, but that is just crap.
There is no reason that a driver could not be written for Win 95, except
that Microsoft doesn't want to.
