So, I take a look at that recently re-discovered "Windows 95" pre-release build (3.10.07200022) that is basically Windows 3.1 with slightly updated graphics and some other functions not in either Windows 3.x or Windows 95! The original intent of this video was to try various software to see what does and doesn't work. Let's just say it doesn't go well...
