Did the Windows 95 setup team forget that MS-DOS can do graphics?
One of the reactions to my discussion of why Windows 95 setup used three operating systems (and oh there were many) was my explanation that an MS-DOS based setup program would be text-mode.

10 Facts About the Life of Churchill’s Favorite WWII Spy
During World War II, Sir Winston Churchill declared that Polish countess Maria Skarbek—although later, she became plain Christine Granville—was his favorite spy.
