Off topic, but what the hell. How can a Microsoft network cost you more?
Firstly, the physical network h/w stays the same irrespective of the type
of network operating systems used. Secondly, Win95 is considered as one
of the easiest LAN clients to configure <with which I agree - and I've been
in networking for more than just a few years>. Thirdly, the network software
is bundled with the Windows operating system - the major reason why many
companies are buying Win'95 and NT as they do not have to purchase 3rd
party LAN software. Fourthly, Microsoft networking supports the 3 most
popular protocols used today, NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface),
Novell's IPX and TCP/IP. On top of that you get the standard NetBIOS and
Sockets APIs. 

So if you want to knock Microsoft <which I'll glady help to do>, get
at least your facts right.

regards,
Billy
