Is there a thread related to PCs that DOESN'T become a Win vs OS/2
flame war!?

My take on Windows 95 is that it's worthless. 

	Windows 3.x: You have to reboot to play Wing Commander.

	Windows 95: You have to reboot to play Wing Commander.

What's the big deal? Maybe someone will write a 32 bit protected mode
cache disabler that torpedoes a 486 enough to play Wing Commander.
Until then, there's not much point in upgrading. The DOS real mode
cache disabler doesn't work under Windows 95, and there's no way
to damage system performance enough to play it. 

OS/2 isn't any better: it destroyed my entire hard drive TWICE
when I installed Warp.

Until something better comes along, I'll stick with Windows 3.x
