Has any piece of Microsoft software become a collectors item? No.

And how can something be rare when it's sold millions upon millions of copies?

No. There are widely distributed (though illegal) versions online and it's really not hard to acquire. Plus, what purpose would anyone want an outdated, useless operating system for? It's not something physical like a toy that can still be used after the fact and the number of people collecting software in the world could probably be counted on fingers and toes.

Is Win95 a collector's item? No?

Also, you managed to post another 7 of these threads. That's one of the larger sets of duplicates I've seen.

Almost no modern technology ends up as a collectible. Unless it had/has a huge following and is rare.

Original working Atari (especially with a bunch of games included) is nostalgic, collectible. Original Play Station or XBOX? Old junk now.

Your old Pentium 4 PC, junk. A working Commodore 64 with a bunch of add-ons, collectible.

They may not be valuable (unless you get a very early model and maybe one that was signed by the creators), but at least there is some demand for them.

Original DOS disks (especially the very early ones), collectible. Windows disks, nope. Especially after the writable CD and electronic download era where you can create a thousand copies in one click.
