The valuable software tools on 3.5" disk are geared towards network administrators and users, and, since the CD version of Windows 95 (Windows 95 Plus) will contain many of the tools, we are offering the book in two configurations - with and without software. The CD buyers will want the book only, and 3.5" disk buyers will want the software if they're on or running a network. This is the only book from any publisher that will be directly mentioned in the Windows 95 manual, the Help system, and on the support card. We strongly feel it's a guaranteed #1 computer book best seller.
