Yes - that was good! The only real problem with WP was that when Windows came along they were too arrogant (at least that was my impression) to embrace the major advantage of Windows at that time which was that printer and displays were shared so you didn't have to install separate drivers for your printer and monitor for each application. Instead they insisted on printing via their install of the printer.
