I believe Win98 will sell just fine. The Win98/Win95 relationship strikes me as very similar to that of Win3.1/Win3.0, i.e. enhancements to a milestone release with focus on performance and bugs. Win3.1 was a blockbuster in terms of revenue.

Norman,re:"win98". You are right that the recent PC sales slump is probably due to people like me waiting for 'win98'. As far as performance is conerned, I wouldn't know and care. Surfing the web don't need much improvement from OS and I'll be happy with win3.1 for a very long time with my old computer. win98 should be a good sale. It's the upgrade from 95->98 that I don't follow the logic unless win95 has major deficiecy. Corporations will wait initially until ALL applications proved to be 'compatible' without having to upgrade ALL at once.
