STReport proudly presents the NEWS you've all been waiting for;
WINDOWS 95 PREVIEW PROGRAM
==========================
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.
Participants in the Windows 95 Preview Program, will receive:
* A pre-release 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.
Windows 95 Preview Program Terms and Conditions:
------------------------------------------------
Since the Preview Program contains prerelease software and is not
returnable, there are several points you should be aware of before
ordering:
* System Requirements: Windows 95 requires a minimum of a 386DX with 4
MB of RAM.
* License: The Preview Program's license enables you to use this
software until one month after the final product becomes available in
stores. Only the registered Preview Program participant is eligible
for support.
* Support: Limited technical support will be provided for the duration
of the Preview Program, and will be discontinued at the time your
license expires. Since the support staff will be ramping up for
retail availability of Windows 95, the response times may be longer
than normal.
* Warranty: Since this is pre-release software, there is no warranty
associated with it, and Microsoft cannot be held responsible for any
problems resulting from the use of this product.
* Lifetime: The pre-release Windows 95 software has a limited lifetime
and will expire approximately one year after the final product becomes
available. The exact date and details will be provided with your
Preview Program Kit.
* No Discount: The price of the Preview Program Kit covers the costs of
the materials, implementation and support for this program, and cannot
be applied towards the purchase of the final released product.
* Recommended Use: Since this is pre-release software, we recommend
using it on a secondary machine. Or, if you plan to use it on your
primary machine, we recommend backing up all of your existing data.
