:>Why prolong the agony?
:>Just get Windows 95, you'll be glad in the long run.
:>Why you ask?  Because all major software is being 
:>developed for Win95

Go figure.  Key phrase: BEING developed.  All the Win95 developers are 
furious with Microsoft because they made RADICAL changes to Win95 JUST before 
releasing it.  Therefore, Microsoft gets the jump on everyone because they're 
the only ones who really knew what Win95 was like before it was released.

:>Besides, you won't have a choice!  I mean, why 
:>have an operating system with NO support (ie, MAC OS, OS/2)
:>no Hardware support (OS/2), and no software support
:>(all Non-win OS's).  

Are you nuts???  Mac support is far and away the BEST IN THE BUSINESS, and 
everyone else could only hope to come CLOSE to what Mac set as the standard.

:>
:>And to think, MAC freaks think that MS copied the
:>Apple interface when making Win95......sorry, 
:>BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! NOT!!

You're absolutely correct, here.  Micrsoft tried (and did not succeed) to 
copy the Mac OS when they came out with the original Windows.  The courts 
ruled that Microsoft needed to make major changes in their "OS" (in quotes 
because Windows in any version is still just a DOS shell) or else face legal 
action.

:>But don't stop there, look at OS/2.  complex beast,
:>one with no software and hardware support.
:>
:>So there's little doubt who'll win the OS Wars.
:>Windows 95, where do you want to go today?
:>

Where do I want to go today?  Certainly, I'd like to get there without a 
crash... So I'll stick with OS/2
