And getting the lead time down to 4-6 weeks would be a challenge - 
remember you
have to *ship* the re-mastered patch CD to every retailer and get it on 
the
shelves.  That's going to hit your bottom line. 

Ever heard of Windows 98?
How about Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)?

They've done it before, they can do it again.

Yes, I notice how they ship a refreshed 98SE every 8 weekss to roll in all the new
security fixes.
