Dear WINNEWS subscriber,
With all you've read and heard about Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95, we hope you've learned that Windows 95 will help organizations lower their PC support burden, provide more control over the desktop, and make users more productive.
So how can you prepare to put Windows 95 to work in your organization? First continue to read WINNEWS for the latest Windows 95 information. Additionally, we are making some units of the Windows 95 Preview Program available for those customers trying to prepare their organizations for the migration to Windows 95. Since the Preview Program kit includes pre-release software it is meant for computing and IS professionals. Nevertheless we anticipate greater demand for this program than we will be able to accommodate. So for those people unable to obtain a copy we apologize in advance and will keep you up to date on the latest information via WINNEWS.
Participants in the Windows 95 Preview Program, will receive:
* A prerelease version of Windows 95 along with information to evaluate the product and plan your migration. For example, the Windows 95 Feature Review will familiarize you with all the new product features, and the Corporate Deployment Guide shows you how to put them to work in your organization. Use the Demonstration Kit presentation and materials to show management why the migration makes good business sense. The Windows Resource Kit lists tools you need to train yourself and others, and the WINNEWS on-line service will help you stay up to date with the latest developments.
To get local pricing information and enroll in the Windows 95 Preview Program please call the phone number below that is applicable for your country. Note that orders can only be placed in the country you are located in. So for example if you reside in the United Kingdom you must call the number in the United Kingdom and cannot order a unit from the United States. Review the terms and conditions below to make sure this program is right for you.

Yes
Wondered how long that would take. When I phoned Microsoft in the UK in March n1995 and ordered the preview kit the lady asked where I had heard about it.
I said on the winnews email received that day. The lady asked me what email was.

No more downloading? A download for me in 1995 involved hours. Today, minutes and seconds. And then there was that time when we had a network to share dial-up. That was like last year. Oh, I suppose much has not changed. But recently we go cable internet. I would like instant internet instead of high speed. -- Robert Firth

Additionally, we are making some units of the Windows 95 Preview Program available for those customers trying to prepare their organizations for the migration to Windows 95.

Internet on cable or wireless in most countries runs less than 80Mbps (bits per sec not bytes), and the poor public are generally only allowed 20Mbps max.
So current HD Laptops and protype UMPC's are expensive and slow.
Windows95 was a great OS very stable, last of the good MS OS's.
To the designers of Windows95, Thank You for a Great OS.
Windows95 Rules !
Cheers

Network computers would be horible on todays internet connections that most people have. Win95 was a great operating system. I personally prefer Win2000 prof, but 98SE was great too. -- Robert Firth

Internet on cable or wireless in most countries runs less than 80Mbps (bits per sec not bytes), and the poor public are generally only allowed 20Mbps max.
So current HD Laptops and protype UMPC's are expensive and slow.
Windows95 was a great OS very stable, last of the good MS OS's.
To the designers of Windows95, Thank You for a Great OS.
Windows95 Rules !
Cheers

No more downloading? A download for me in 1995 involved hours. Today, minutes and seconds. And then there was that time when we had a network to share dial-up. That was like last year. Oh, I suppose much has not changed. But recently we go cable internet. I would like instant internet instead of high speed. -- Robert Firth

Dear WINNEWS subscriber,
With all you've read and heard about Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95, we hope you've learned that Windows 95 will help organizations lower their PC support burden, provide more control over the desktop, and make users more productive.
So how can you prepare to put Windows 95 to work in your organization? First continue to read WINNEWS for the latest Windows 95 information. Additionally, we are making some units of the Windows 95 Preview Program available for those customers trying to prepare their organizations for the migration to Windows 95. Since the Preview Program kit includes pre-release software it is meant for computing and IS professionals. Nevertheless we anticipate greater demand for this program than we will be able to accommodate. So for those people unable to obtain a copy we apologize in advance and will keep you up to date on the latest information via WINNEWS.
Participants in the Windows 95 Preview Program, will receive:
* A prerelease version of Windows 95 along with information to evaluate the product and plan your migration. For example, the Windows 95 Feature Review will familiarize you with all the new product features, and the Corporate Deployment Guide shows you how to put them to work in your organization. Use the Demonstration Kit presentation and materials to show management why the migration makes good business sense. The Windows Resource Kit lists tools you need to train yourself and others, and the WINNEWS on-line service will help you stay up to date with the latest developments.
To get local pricing information and enroll in the Windows 95 Preview Program please call the phone number below that is applicable for your country. Note that orders can only be placed in the country you are located in. So for example if you reside in the United Kingdom you must call the number in the United Kingdom and cannot order a unit from the United States. Review the terms and conditions below to make sure this program is right for you.
