Actually, you're thinking one version later. Windows 95 didn't offer USB support native, although there was a limited implementation of USB support in OSR 2. Win 98 and later has native support for USB, although there are some (most) who say any 9x USB implementation is broken.

EDIT - billege, I apologize. I misunderstood your post. However, that's still not entirely right. Every version of Windows requires drivers for any USB device. The difference is that the NT kernel comes with most of the ones you need out of the box. The later 9x versions offer better support for hardware, but none of them are perfect that way.
