As you would have known if you had read the part you deleted (and could have
deduced from the parenthesized part), this was in reaction to someone who was
getting off over the number of apps available (again *present tense*) for
Windows 95. I'm damned sorry for all those believing the MS party line over and
over again, but apart from some MS Office apps there are none, while there
are thousands for OS/2. But as usual, they won't count, 'cause there are no
MS SuperBloat(TM) apps among them.
BTW, it has been out for *26* days here (3.5 weeks), that leaves FOUR days to
comply with the party line of *thousands* of apps within 30 days of release.
Should make you stop and think.
