>>>It is unlikely that Microsoft make any money off Win95 and NT. The costs of developing, marketing and supporting them is way out of wack compared to other areas. Think about it - Win95 goes for about $65 to Microsoft. Subtract packaging and distribution costs and the probably take $50 up front. <<<

Huh? Sorry, you are way off base. Try an average of $10 to $15 for packaging and distribution of Win95 and NT. Don't forget, Microsoft pay NO distribution fees for bundling, which is the majoority of shipments.
