Yeah, right; and, Santa Claus is coming to town, too! The "high sales"
have not continued; and, that's a fact documented in the press. Retailers
are returning substantial amounts of unsold/unsellabe Win95; and, this
with Christmas only a month away - the season when most retailers do
50-70% of their $ volume.

The only thing saving Win95 from BoB's fate is pre-loads; and, we all
know that a pre-load does not necessarily spawn a user.

What this boils down to is that Win95 has a "user base" at best half
the size of OS/2's - a bit short of Dataquest's 35 million dream, eh?

As for clues: the clue Goldman Sachs is suggesting is their removal
of Microsoft from their recommended list. You make the call.
