Actually, Windows 95 does indeed have built in color management called Image Color Matching (ICM). As Linotype-Hell provided the core interpolation code and device profiles for Apple, Kodak provided the core interpolation code and device profiles for Microsoft.
Having been the color architect for ColorSync 2.0 while at Apple (now I'm at Hewlett-Packard research labs), the founding chairman of the International Color Consortium (ICC) device profile standards effort and now working closing with Microsoft on their color management, I am familiar with the low level aspects of this work.
Also in fairness, Apple has published a book "Advanced Color Imaging and the Mac OS" which describes Apples color imaging technologies quite well from a software developers standpoint. Equivalent documentation from Microsoft is almost non-existent.
Also, just my two cents.
