They were great at getting their OS preinstalled on nearly every PC. They were really good at backwards compatibility, and they were absolutely ruthless against their competition. But they always, always sucked at marketing.

Nope. Windows 95 had a huge promotion, but most PCs already came with the OS installed, unless you built your own PC.
