For Folks in the UK (ONLY) who what to get a copy of WIN 95...

From some time in 1995, there will be a Preview Programme which will
allow you to purchase a late beta of Win 95. Cost is not yet known
but the recent rumours of 19UKP (circa US$ 30) is probably about right.

There will be only a limited number of copies - I understand 14,000 for
the UK.  From the sounds of things, it will be first come first served.

To sign up for this, you should phone 0181 9432021.  This phone is answered
Microsoft Upgrade Centre.  Explain to the nice person who answers that
you want to get onto the list.

At this point, all they will do is take your name and address.  Sometime
in January, you will be sent full details on how to apply.  

I'd like to say more, but details are scarce and I felt this would be 
of interest to a lot of people.  As noted above, this is UK only - I have
no details of the Preview Programme for the US (although I expect there
will be one).  

Hope this helps someone!

Thomas
