I hold no brief for MS save to say, as a very late converter to
Win95, that I can't envisage a personal need for an alternative
system. Despite it well chronicled failings it's plus points suit me
fine and my one computing regret is that I didn't switch from DOS
earlier.
I accept that Asian users may not be as DOS/Win oriented as the US
and Europe but in my part of the web, according to
"http://www.thecounter.com/", the number of viewers of American\UK
English sites using IE or Netscape is 94% and the number *using* a
Win OS is 92%.
