Like the original retail Win95. Still flying off the shelves after 2 1/2 years!

Not sure what the point of your message is, but you do know that the retail Win95 has bundled IE3 since early 97, right? (It may be bundling IE4 now).

Try it out yourself -- I buy a copy every now and then for a customer who is upgrading a windows 3.1 machine. Microsoft bundles an extra CD which is essentially the internet starter kit. The box was even changed to say something along the lines of "...with Internet Explorer".

Not really sure how you derive a negative from win95 still being a top seller. That does indicate more people are upgrading to 95, since the only people who would buy the retail are windows 3.1 users.

Realize we are at the end of the depreciation cycle for most 486s bought in 94/95, so the upgrade cycles should be even better for biz this and next year. We have a contract to replace 500 386s with Pentium II's running NT4.0 at a Fortune1000 already this year. Its gone very smoothly so far (~80 done), the PCs still hook into the Netware 3.12 server and use the Unix server for popmail. We don't trust Exchange yet and the company has a big investment in Netware.
