As of this weekend I noticed the biiggies (Like Best Buys) are
including this in their ads. "Buy any computer and get a free Windows
95 Upgrade"
Fine Print says that upgrade will be available in around the end of
August.

On the other hand Micro Center is stuck with several pallets of WARP
that hasn't sold. When I asked their sales force about NT 3.51 they
tried to sell me WARP. When I asked about W95 they tried to sell me
WARP. <grin>

Privately several who know me got me aside and said that they are
under orders not to talk about W95! All are schedualed to go to
classes about W95 shortly. Another said he didn't understand why their
NT books were two years outdated when they had several bookshelves
crammed with WARP "How to's that haven't sold". He said he daily gets
reamed out for not having NT resources and books. They even have NT
3.5 resource kit for $99 and none in stock. Someone in management made
a very bad decesion and the grunts on the floor are taking the flack
from the public.

IBM -> I Better have lots of Money.
WARP-> deserves a BLUE * award for name
OS/2-> only half an PC OS the Windows 95 compatible part is missing
