	Really!!! And how long has OS/2 been on the market.  IBM is a 
good company but they blew it with marketing and the game is over.
Sim City for OS/2 anyone??  Think again.

	Well--Apple got what they deserved; until very recently they
wouldn't license their hardware archetechure so the created their own

	A little enthusiastic perhaps--remember Windows lovers have been 
waiting for a very long time for this upgrade (any upgrade!!).  And in all
that time OS/2 has failed to capture the hearts and souls of users.

	The one are that always lagged for Windows 3.1 though was games.
We've by and large a bunch of brain dead game developers who have, until
the advent of Win95, been developing primarily in DOS (haven't bought a 
DOS product in years).  Win95 is quickly changing that and users won't 
tolerate this DOS game crap for much longer.
