>>Windows 95.5 On The Way

As a stopgap measure prior to the arrival in the channel of Windows 98, Microsoft Corp. will ship to OEMs within the next few months a new version of Windows 95, tentatively called OSR 2.5.<<

-------
Further down in the article:
>>Microsoft began notifying OEMs of its plans to provide updated Windows 95 code within the past two weeks. Microsoft is aiming to provide them with OSR 2.5 code by late this year or the first quarter of 1998, said Phil Holden, Windows product manager with Microsoft.

"From the channel perspective, OEMs need a three- to four-month window to test and deliver a new OS," Holden said. As a result, if Microsoft holds to its current plan of sending Windows 98 to manufacturing in the second quarter of 1998 as announced, many OEMs will be unable to preload the operating system on new machines until the third or fourth quarter next year, he said.<<
