If you haven't read Judge Jackson's "Findings of Fact" in the MS 
vs DOJ trial, it gives a quite lucid analysis of why MS made the 
design and marketing decisions they did with Win95 and Win98. 
Basically, MS wanted people to migrate to the latest version of 
Windows and IE to maintain the "applications barrier to entry" in
the PC software market and thereby maintain their monopoly 
position.
