Sticking with what you have is often attractive and is another reason why this case is unnecessary. MSFT *has* to move forward to get consumers to continue paying them money. Their own legacy products are in fact currently a big competitor, as your statements confirm.

However, I would be very, very surprised if those consumers that *have* chosen to spend money upgrading their OS software were to choose Windows95 over Windows98 in significant numbers. I know of no evidence suggesting such a trend.
