You know, it really seems to me that OS/2 fanatics find it hard to
believe that Microsoft may have actually developed a comperable
operating system to OS/2.  All those years of "WinDOZE" bashing has 
left a pretty stiff mindset in their heads.  Well, I gotta tell ya, Windows
95 delivers the goods, all this damn near the first attempt.  Practically 
100% compatibility with DOS and Windows 3.1 applications, a kick butt
interface, and improved performance.  And you know the greatest thing,
given Microsoft's marketing power, it will be the dominant OS by this
time next year.  I can play all my previous DOS and Windows games on
it (TIE Fighter, Xcom, Doom, Dark Forces, Harpoon for Windows) without
a hitch.  And there is a definate improvement when I run them too.
Installation was a snap, absolutely no hassles.  I'm not making this
up, it's true.  Windows 95 delivers!
