Oh, and WHERE exactly has Microsoft said that WIN95 is dead? I watch TV,
read magazines and read Usenet group's, and I SURE as hell did NOT see any
announcement that WIN95 is dead. I think you OS/2 folk's need to realize
that OS/2 is not the "ALL WONDERFUL" OS. In fact OS/2 is often a bitch to
install, supported driver's for soundcard's, and cd drive's/printer's is
pathetic, and MOST dos games dont even work under OS/2, you often end up
booting DOS anyways to play them.  Sure if your lucky you can get a driver
for your hardware off the internet, otherwise your proably up a creek
without a paddle. Now if you take a look at the supported driver's for
WIN95, that's a different story. On the Microsoft WWW page I got a
helpfile(910k) which LISTS all the driver's for
video/sound/cdrom's/multimedi/modem's/printer's is VERY good. Now why IBM
can't have the same great driver support for hardware, I dont know.
Perhaps IBM should take lessons from Microsoft on "How to better support
printers/soundcard's/modem's/video card's/display's etc etc". OS/2 I think,
is only good if your going to run nothing but the few OS/2 app's, and
perhaps some of the WINDOWS apps that you hope run under OS/2.
