==Running on CollabVM==
The Windows 9x series has a slight problem running on CollabVM (and QEMU itself; more on that later) out of the box, and that is the mouse. The mouse will be off position from the host mouse. This is due to Windows 95 having no USB support at all. However, special USB 1.1 drivers are known to exist for Windows 95B, so if you can find drivers for USB 1.1, then the mouse will function smoothly.
 
QEMU also has some problems running Windows 95 itself - it tends to be glitchy at times and sometimes BSODs or crashes, but this happens rarely and its not unusable. Also, Windows 95 may sometimes fail to boot under a memory allocation error but this usually goes away on the next restart. This usually happens more on Windows 95 RTM ("Gold") and less on "OSR 2", so it is recommended to run OSR 2.
