So, you're saying that the initail release of the Plus! pack will have "several weeks" worth of bug fixes for Windows 95? I don't think so: why confuse the issue with a couple of weeks worth of bug fixes when you're going to release them on a quarterly or so basis (I can see the tech support nightmare *this* would cause). Maybe it'll have recently written -- and tested -- 32 bit drivers, but I think it will have no (let me make that clear for you: nada, keine, zero) bug fixes. But go on spreading the nice little bit of FUD if you'd like; make sure people know *you're* the only one spreading it!
