Okay, for the last time now:

Whether the Plus! pack (PP) is released at the same time as Win95 or shortly
after is irrelevant.  By no means does a same-day release indicate that there
are no bug fixes in PP.  The simple fact of the matter is that Win95 (being
an OS) must be finalized sooner than PP because OEMs (who don't care about PP)
require Win95 at least 6 weeks prior to Aug. 24 if they have any hope of
making it available by then.  This deadline would appear to have been missed
but that's another story.  So, Microsoft has several weeks following the
code lock on Win95 in which to code bug fixes to be included in PP.  Naturally,
these bug fixes will not be found in the beta versions os PP which fall prior
to the code lock on Win95 because if the code were not locked, then they might
as well put the fixes right in the OS!

There, 'nuff said.
