....et al,....
....I changed the topic, since it looks quite apparent that NOBODY
really wants to do Windows.....not if they are halfway informed, and
have their head screwed on tight....<g>
....Everything that I have received from my ZDNet, CNET, TechRepublic,
etc newscasts indicates that all WIN, from now on, will NOT run DOS
or any 16-bit stuff, which means that it breaks compatibility with all
prior software...
....What Roger reported, I have also run into...but, I TOLD them not to
upgrade to that new junk....<g> And the software companies don't seem
to know how to cope with this....ROTFL....that seems to be the reason
so many of them are, belatedly, desperately parting their stuff to
Linux...even going so far as to jump aboard the "open source" bandwagon.
....BTW....Bernie....I resent your slander of poor OS2...<ggg>...NT is
NOT based upon OS2, well, maybe VERY loosely....NT and OS2 diverged
at OS2 1.3, and NT went Blowzeware, while OS2 went a more sensible
route...except it was still private IBM stuff, and subject to the whims
of their marketing nitheads...
....everything indicates that WIN is becoming a dead end, and it seems
as if even Billy G. and Stevie B. realize this....<gggggggggggg>
