Chances
Cave in to Andy
Grove and delay the
launch of Windows
95 until NSP is
compatible with it,
allow NSP to be
released
on
schedule.
Can
defer
its
release of Windows
95 by 18 months
and increase the
sales
of
its
Windows
3.0
till
then.
Chances of such a
change of heart by
Microsoft are very
slim.
