- This whole OS war bollocks got very tired a long, long time ago. Here
- we go again..... I use Windows 95 because I'm a contractor who is paid
- to write database applications which run on other IBM compats under
- Windows 3.n/95. So I don't have much choice in the OS that I use on my
- machines. However, having experienced all of the other major OS's I'd
- still stick with 95, reason being that every machine I've put it on
- took a 30 minute set up (and an admin did those, it's so frigging
- automated anyway), and they've all been running absolutely fine for
- months now. Yes, we've been putting *plenty* of new peripherals into
- these machines and the only additional work we've had to *endure* is
- popping the 95 CD into the drive when requested. New internet
- provider? Plonk the IP addresses into a new connection, and 3 minutes
- later I'm back up. I won't babble any further, cos my whole point is
- that *it works for ME*. You want to use a Mac? Go ahead, use 10! OS/2?
- Fine! Have a ball! I'm not going to use them, cos I couldn't sell a
- damn thing to users of these OS's , market just isn't big enough to
- justify us spending the time and resources. So, anyone that's been
- trotting out the 'sheep' line, just remember that there are many
- flocks out there, and baaaa-ing from a minority flock doesn't make you
- any less of a sheep.
- Have a happy life.
