Say what?

Ninety per cent! Yet another delusional post from a Wintel user. Window
3.x has less than 60% of the desktop O/S market. Win95 has close to *zero*
per cent.

In any case, I think you completely missed the point of the article,
Harlan. It clearly is *not* altruism that motivates either the writer or
his employer from possibly dropping support for Win95 - it is economic
necessity. They are apparently coming to the conclusion that the return
from Win95 product development (at least for the  TCP/IP-based product he
was referring to) does not justify the excessive development costs of
same.
