- GO FOR OS/2 Warp, as it is heck lot BETTER than any version of Windows,
- and gives you better protection om memory and more.........
- Comparing to Both Win 95 and Win 3.1/3.11, OS/2 is 100% ground-up for its
- boot up routine, and Win 95, Win 3.1/3.11 use DOS (you can find DOS if you
- poke Win 95 hard enough, as you will also see a memory manager (aka
- EMM386.exe) and all those DOS crap, and it does not allow you to run as much
- DOS program as OS/2 do, and even some of the program runs under Win 95',
- it will require a reboot after you quit the program (Turbo Pascal for DOS, I use
- it because it is leaner and faster than the windoze crap).........
- It is a serious hint about the background of the windoze 95 when it asks for a
- reboot after Turbo Pascal finished running, as it is just quitting the win 95
- shell to pure DOS, and when the program finished running, it reboots to reduce
- the amount of clues it is giving you (it already give away TOO MUCH).......
-
- GO FOR OS/2!
