They didn't work hard.. Haven't you figured that out? When WIN95 came
out, it was so buggy I went back to DOS.. Now with OSR2 (Which I
couldn't even buy without getting a whole new goddamn PC) I can at
least run a 32 bit environment, but booting up with my LAN takes  no
less than 3 minutes, usually around 5 because of Windows problems..
Apparently Memphis has these solved, but I'd like to see that. Front
Page.. That was a joke.. MS 3D Movie Maker.. That was a half-assed job
at making a program.. There wasn't even an option to import your own
stuff. Flight simulator.. You can land on the water... All of their
games are so goddamn proprietary it isn't even funny..
Face it, they're doing a half-assed job and still selling everything
at a high price. If they cared about the customer, they'd do more than
just slap together the package just because the release date was
coming near.
