OK, Thanks.
Questions: Will I also have the option of selecting the version of
DOS (MS-DOS 7.0 ?) that comes with Windows 95? Can I expect to receive
frivolous error messages from Windows telling me that my DOS version
is not compatible with Windows 95? Are such error messages for real?
Are they just part of some annoying MicroSoft marketing ploys? In other
words, can I just safely ignore such error messages because they are just
part of an annoying marketing conspiracy designed to have me to believe
that I have to do things their way?
All the best,
