If you have a look at Win9x after seeing OSes on other platforms it is 
obvious that the only true feature that it has over anything else is 
simply hype. 

How on earth can anyone even consider running the useless piece of **** 
known as Win9x when there is a product of such merit as OS/2 to compete? 

The answer is simple - ignorance. 

After seeing and using Win95 I must say that it is a big improvement over 
WFWG but it is still lacking heaps. People talk of WNT but it is still 
not appropriate for the average user when specs are taken into account. 
It is the best OS which MS have produced though. Then again many people 
who worked on VMS worked on WNT. Incidently, if you shift the letters of 
VMS across one letter in the alphabet what three letters do you have? ( 
In case you are a hardcore windows user and lack the grey matter to work 
it out, the answer is WNT. ) 

How on earth can anyone even argue about which OS is best (or in Win95's 
case will be the best) on the Intel platform when the field is such? 

Only people who have never seen anything but windows can, but then again 
these poor creatures have never really seen anything.
