I had b using a fat32 drive so the argument continues.

That is only possible if you had somehow obtained the OSR2 upgrade and had applied it to 95b. However, MS's policy was that the only way to get OSR2 was as part of a new system. However, it was placed on various warez sites and some dealers stretched the definition of "new system" and would supply it with any new hardware.
MS's stated reason for restricting its availability in this way was that they didn't want the inevitable high support load and bad feeling that would result as those with insufficient knowledge and experience proceeded to screw up their file systems during the upgrade.
I know all this because I tried and failed to get a legitimate copy of it myself. I still run 95b (or I did until I lost a critical sector on a disk) and have been stuck with FAT16 which is far from ideal.
