Yes, it did. Some people were actually queueing up to buy it back then. But after the initial hype, the typical Windows effect set in: Their monopoly comes from OEM sales, nothing else.

I think it's easy to find. Right here in my grasp – there on the shelf ;) Of course, the big question is why anyone would want to have it…

Well, I just want some box shots (front, back, left, right, top and bottom sides) of it.

EDIT: Are they OEM or Retail versions?

Well, obviously that exists. Various different versions, in fact.

However the full CD-ROM version is almost impossible to find, AFAIK.

So, what, according to your definition, would a "full CD-ROM edition" be?

A non-Upgrade edition.

According to http://huguesjohnson.com/features/loser_phase/1995.html, full CD-ROM edition copies of Win95 existed...
Now they are almost impossible to find! And can be identified because of this CD cover:
