It did; it came with ms-paint. The reason those picture-viewers became so popular was "hands free slide shows".

I still use that one.

I miss BRIEF, you could have all kinds of macros (written in a c-like script).

WS FTP Pro - 16 bit version. When it became too much trouble to get it to run, I tried a few other FTP programs but found none that I liked. In the end I wrote my own. :)

As far as I can recall it didn't read many format, including JPEG. I was fairly young and inexperienced at that time so I listened a lot to what others said - and they weren't experts, just tinkers.

It was updated (before Win98 came about) to include extra file-formats, yes.

At that time I had the 27 floppies version ;P I couldn't install nor Plus! nor OSR/2 due to lack of CD reader. Came the CD came Win98 came the crashes with the screensaver; reverted but to NT4. Lasted until Win98 SE, then skipped everything until XP. On the oldest PC I installed Win Me and I'm one of the only three people satisfied with it.

(A license for) Win ME was the only version of Windows that I actually paid for. I still regret that choice :)
