=>Ya know, Bill, it's nice and everything to support your product, but you're
=>just plain wrong. Windows95 does not crash nearly as much as people claim, and
=>I've had my copy since the very beginning of September. Three months. And it's
=>crashed twice. Furthermore, those crashes were *my* doing, not Windows. Maybe
=>that's not a long time span, but wherever I'm going I've yet to crash Windows
=>on purpose.

=>And, for the record, while I believe OS/2 is a superior product to Windows95,
=>being a superior product is not necessarily indicative of what will win out.
=>IBM made one mistake, which was to think Windows95 was going to flop, and 
=>therefore choose not to support any programs on it. That was the one big 
=>mistake. That is also why I do not have OS/2 on my system, because the
=>current version will not support any of the new Win95-based applications
=>being developed.


So well said - thanks
