Mortellaro > gy...@ibm.net > <<TEAM OS/2>> And such comments *should* be expected from 'Team OS/2' people. From reading your post, it's obviously me that either a) you've never even looked at Win95 or b) you did, but for only about 2 minutes. Not that I seriously believe anything I say will change *your* mind about anything exactly, but that last comment of yours is absolutely unfounded. That's a lot like me saying to you that OS/2 has worse crash-recovery than a Commodore 64. We both know it's not true. I've been running Win95 for over 6 months now, and I've tested and run (very successfully) upwards of 300 seperate apps (spanning a variety of things, from DOS games to Windows spreadsheets to DOS cad apps to Windows application development tools), and I'd say *in all honesty* that ~ 97% of everything I tested ran the same--if not better-under Win95 as it did under the MS-DOS/Win3.1 combo. Surprisingly enough (or perhaps not so much so), the majority of those 3% of problems apps are DOS games. The GUI itself has locked up on me twice in all this time, and the amount of GPFs and application errors has decreased sizeably (about a 40:1 ratio, 40 being faults in Win3.1). You are certainly entitled to speak up and say anything as unintelligently as you have, but you could at least have the courtesy of calling the OS by it's real name. ;) Rich (know your enemy before shooting him..) -- >==============================================< > Rich D. < / < >----------< O===[=Excalibur Dragon====- < > \ < > R E D J r @ i x . n e t c o m . c o m < > Excalibur Systems <*> -==(UDIC)==- < >----------------------------------------------< > "The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and < > pass, leaving memories that become legend.." < >==============================================<
