Microsoft and plug and play
Uh, 8 years before before Win95 and "Plug and Play" was the LMI-Lambda with it's Nubus slots from MIT. Then in 1987 the Macintosh II with Nubus slots was introduced 8 years before Win95. MS just coined the name "Plug and Play" but was that last to the "Plug and Play" party.
However, Intel did introduce PCI in 1994, it didn't get any significant use until 1995.
