The firm explained the delay by saying the release will now cover upgrades for users of both Windows 3.1 and 95. Pundits have recently accused Microsoft of not providing a clear upgrade path for users of 3.1 which retains a huge user base, especially in big in business.

Although no surprise - Windows OS releases have traditionally been plagued by tardy delivery - the news hit the Redmond, Washington behemoth's shares, knocking more than five per cent off the company's stock value.
