It was in a rudimentary form in Win98 (not in 95) but needed 
device-specific drivers for each device, and even then only worked when 
it felt like it.

There was better USB support in 98SE and ME, tho it still wasn't very 
good. Some things worked, others didn't, and filesystems (eg. flash 
drives) would often get corrupted.

XP made USB support seamless, tho sometimes it doesn't want to eject a 
device that has a filesystem. This is fixed in XP64 and everything later.
