Every one that shipped after the OEM update came out shipped with the latest
OEM version of Windows 95. See that sticker on your computer that says
"Designed for Microsoft Windows xx"? OEM's want to be able to put that
sticker on their computers. Microsoft won't let OEM's ship computers with
obsolete software. Use your favorite search engine and find "Microsoft and
Monopoly" for more information.

| Rats! I hate the taste of plastic. :) Thanks for the article. Of course, it's worth noting that the only way to get these OEM versions is to buy a computer with it installed! I wonder how many machines shipped that had the update? --Doug Wilcox (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
