Just what definition of cool are you using?
Win95 is slow, unstable and inefficent. Same for office.
I run a Win95 and Linux duel boot setup on my computer.
Win 95 uses swap all the time and crashes frequently when any program
does anything even remotely wrong.
Linux will hardly touch swap, is FAR faster and no matter how one
program crashes the rest of the system keeps running fine.
Linux also uses 1/4 of the HD space and has the advantages that other
people can remote log onto the machine and have completely seperate
accounts (not like the win95 method where you can just make up a user
name and then access the whole disk).
Also ping times in Xquake are lower than DOS/Win95 despite the game
running in a window with other things running in the background.

office 95 - overpriced, memory/disk/processor hungry and full of bugs.

The only problem with netscape is that java attempts to make invalid
calles to the shaired C librarys. Thats a bug by Netscape but at least
they support other operating systems rather than just microslof crap.

The only reason people like Win95 is that they got used to Win3.1. Once
you realise what a real OS can do you can see just how much of a con
Windows is.

P.S. for those of you who don't know, Linux is free from any sunsite
(and a lot of other places) or about $5-10 for the CD.
