At the end of the first week, sales in the United States alone reached 108 million dollars. Microsoft to pay 220 million dollars for the Public Relations. Why does Bill Gates spend so much for Public Relations?. There are two possible reasons.

Second, Apple Computer quickly reduce the price of the computer in hopes of selling more Macintosh computers before Windows 95 is similar to the Macintosh operating system on the market.
