   If you're that insane to run a game as demanding as Magic Carpet in a
window, then you really don't know the difference between operating systems.

   OS/2 swaps like hell on an 8 meg system if you have a small swap file.  Increase
that swap file, and I guarantee you that OS/2 will be equal, if not faster than 
Win95.

   OS/2 requires lots of setup for DOS sessions so we can actually tell the 
computer what we need for this DOS session, and what we don't.

  As for being more friendly - I would rephrase this to being "prettier".  The user
interface on Win95 is great.
