- The point is that MicroSoft has put something into their new operating
- system that people (I assume) don't know about...and selecting a
- Registration option should do ONLY that. Maybe you're correct and
- MicroSoft had very noble intentions when they decided to incorporate this
- into Win95, but personally, I don't want ANYTHING going into my machine
- that I don't put there myself, even if it's something I need! Besides,
- why would MicroSoft keep such a "beneficial" feature of Win95 under their
- hats?

- Purchasers of any product should know EXACTLY what they're buying before
- they buy!

- Thanks, I'll check out Info World... ...I don't use any MicroSoft
- products yet, but will be forced to when I purchase an Alpha workstation,
- and I want to know exactly what I'm getting myself into when I start
- using WindozeNT or any other MicroSoft product. Win95 and MSN may not
- work properly yet, but that's not really the issue here...seems to me
- like MicroSoft is testing the waters to see what they can get away with.

- Anyways, this isn't the place to carry on such off-topic discussions...I'll
- refrain from posting anymore messages here about this subject.
