[Windows 98 will likely be a hit, but it will be a much smaller hit than Windows 95 precisely because it is simply an upgraded version, rather than a dramatically improved version. ] Sounds reasonable, right? But of all the OS versions MSFT has sold, two of the biggest revenue blockbusters are Dos6.0 and Win3.1. Now remember that Dos4.0 to Dos5.0 was a bigger change than Dos5.0 to Dos6.0, and that Win2.0 to Win3.0 was a bigger change than Win3.0 to Win3.1. Win98 will not be the "event" Win95 was, but maybe that's because it doesn't need to be.
