MSFT has contracts which will obligate them to sell Win95 to OEMs, Uncle Sam, and others, some of those contracts run years into the future. If the products are priced the same and if there are no internal development resources devoted to Win95, why should they refuse even a single Win95 sale? They will have to support Win95 for a long time into the future anyway. All of the big OEMs will want to shift to Win98 as soon as they can to get the market advantage. But CPQ, for example, still ships a significant amount of Windows 3.1 to some corporate customers who have not changed their standards, also NT 3.51.
