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NT books were two years outdated when they had several bookshelves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

2. a mental twist,  bias or quirk.

If you have a look at Win9x after seeing OSes on other platforms it is 
obvious that the only true feature that it has over anything else is 
simply hype. 

How on earth can anyone even consider running the useless piece of **** 
known as Win9x when there is a product of such merit as OS/2 to compete? 

The answer is simple - ignorance. 

After seeing and using Win95 I must say that it is a big improvement over 
WFWG but it is still lacking heaps. People talk of WNT but it is still 
not appropriate for the average user when specs are taken into account. 
It is the best OS which MS have produced though. Then again many people 
who worked on VMS worked on WNT. Incidently, if you shift the letters of 
VMS across one letter in the alphabet what three letters do you have? ( 
In case you are a hardcore windows user and lack the grey matter to work 
it out, the answer is WNT. ) 

How on earth can anyone even argue about which OS is best (or in Win95's 
case will be the best) on the Intel platform when the field is such? 

Only people who have never seen anything but windows can, but then again 
these poor creatures have never really seen anything.
