I hear Win95 advocates going on about stuff that their new operating "system" (MS DOS7 & Win kludge 95) might be able to do - and it's stuff that other platforms have been doing for years. This situation is like showing off a musket to a stone-age tribe. Even though it's obsolete and unreliable technology, the ignorant think it's incredible, mostly because they've never been exposed to it. This technology (multi-tasking OS's which Win95 will NEVER be,) is not rocket science and has been around for years. M$ is now just moving into the mid-1980's. Wow. I'm real impressed. When are they going to start offering object-oriented technology? 2010?
