OT: Archive of old Microsoft press releases?

[Nate Dawg]

Sorry these newsgroups were the closes thing to what I was looking for.

But, I am curious if there is somewhere on the net an archive of OLD
Microsoft press releases for certain products.

AS an example I'd love to read the Microsoft press release ( or something
more technical for us geeks ) for MS-DOS 2.0.. or MS-DOS 3.3 or MS-DOS 5.
or Windows 95. lol... just for the hell of it really. I'd love to see
what the " NEW and improved features" of MS-DOS 3.3 were and why I should
upgrade. Hehehe.

Yeah its kinda silly but I know somewhere out there these old press
releases and maybe even more technical information that was not JUST for the
press is sitting in a dark corner of the internet "gathering dust".

I'd love to dig them up. I looked on the microsoft web site. If this type
info is archived on www.microsoft.com I must not have searched for it
correctly.

Any ideas?
