Indeed - ISTR the numbers being somewhat interchangeable though. One CD 
key would happily work with a Win95 CD that was shipped with a different 
key, which always seemed a little pointless.

Hmm actually, was it Win95 where the entry of the key was optional and 
hitting escape just let you skip past it (with all the legal issues that 
created)? Maybe that was a different bit of MS software with a CD key at 
around the same time though...
