How do I identify the genuine OSR2 from pirated copies?
All Windows 95 OSR/2 should come with one manual and two CDs unless they are marked with language such as the following “For distribution with a new Dell [or Compaq, etc.] Computer”. The computers that Dell/Compaq/etc. provide only need to have one disk. Second, pirated OSR2 will be sold at a ridiculously low price. Third, make sure it is not in a 100 programs-in-1 CD. A Genuine OSR2 will not be accompanied by any other programs. However, some CDs do come with some games or demos. Some OSR2 are bundled with Plus or even accompanied with another CD that is “Microsoft Windows 95 Starts Here/How & Why”. Usually, the bundled software’s are also products of Microsoft. Other than that, be very careful and investigate properly.
