Nope, no Windows 95. Just the Windows that came installed on the machine.
The price point of the Toaster helped sell it, and start the revolution.
(It put desk top video within the reach of the dedicated amatuer as well
as the full blonw production facility.)
Had Newtek chosen another platform, the legend goes that they could not
have produced the Toaster for that price, let alone chose that price, and
turned a profit. The pricing on the IBM/Clone Toaster seems to bear this
out. (Though I haven't seen the specs to see if the new Toaster has
enough new features to account for the price increase.)
