Oops... let's make that "Microsoft appear to have done nothing whatsoever
to fix the problem with Win95" It seems I was confusing myself, since I
just managed to connect to build 490.R6 and wander around the drive
starting from a shared C:\TEMP using "cd ../".

As I heard it, R6 is not a beta, it is what is being pressed
onto countless CDs right now...
