IBM to Pre-Load Windows 95: The Armonk, N.Y.-based computer giant said Microsoft Corp.’s new operating system will be installed in some personal computers beginning this fall. IBM said it won’t know until after Windows 95 is available in August which computers will carry the software and whether they will be shipped with both Windows 95 and IBM’s OS/2 Warp operating systems. It said it will wait to see how much demand Windows 95 commands before making any decisions. IBM’s Aptiva, PC300, PC700 and ThinkPad are all in the running as candidates for Windows 95.
