A user posted about the OS "Cairo", which doesn't exist in any pre-form (alpha or beta) yet, and confused it with NT 4.0. So I corrected him. I certainly have no desire to "discuss" NT. But 32 megs to run well? "Complex" to install? Most reviews I've read stated it runs well in 16 megs, and it's "one button" installation was actually quite easier than OS/2's.
