Great idea.  Don't use an OS because you don't like zealots. 
BTW, there are Win95 zealots also (I am responding to one, for
example), so I guess people shouldn't use Win95 by your reasoning.

Highly biased propaganda is what MS used for Windows, they even
admitted that Win95 is overhyped.

I hardly ever saw any OS/2 _advertisements_, much less
propaganda, before Warp.  OTOH, it's hard _not_ to see Win95
propaganda in mags for the last year or so.

Every OS has geeks users, computer users were once seen as geeks
too, I guess you shouldn't use a computer at all.

>I think Windows 95 is great and yes, it is the future.

Yeah, a future that MS themselves said is only a few years,
before they get people to buy NT.
