You shouldn't believe everything you hear on TV.  Setting up the
TCP/IP is a bit of a pain, but networking almost always is.
Everything defaults to MSN, of course, but that's easily fixed.

Did you get Magic Carpet working from within Win95, or from the DOS
prompt?  I got the problem where it loads fine into Win95 until you
hit Enter for the map, then crashes.  Rumor has it that it checks for
the CD-ROM at this point (copy protection) in a non-portable manner,
fails the check, and crashes.

Everything else I've tried works great (P90, 16 MB).  Some users have
reported significant slowdowns and CD-ROM problems.  Booting to
vanilla DOS seems to always work, even if it's annoying.
