Well, yes, Colbeth got raked over the coals by Microsoft, as have many "partners" before and since. My recollection is there was a per-unit royalty for Win3x, but no royalties at all for Win95, Colbeth was probably counting on another year's delay or something. That would have been well within a standard deviation for Microsoft releases, but Colbeth probably wasn't counting on the broad consumer acceptance of an OS that sucked more, not less. It's what the customers wanted! Cheers, Dan.
