Registered users of both Excel and Windows should receive a combined upgrade
letter from Microsoft (I did).  You get a free upgrade to Excel version 2.1c
when you upgrade to Windows 3.0; this is regardless of the version of Excel
you currently have.  Nice touch, Microsoft.

NCR is upgrading Windows through Egghead, which does not have this offer.
However, one of our people called Microsoft, and is getting the Excel upgrade
free from Microsoft, even though he is not upgrading Windows through them.
