- I bought a PC for the office with 95 installed and made the mistake of
- believing backwards compatability was real. Bullshit.
-
- I had CD Games that came with the PC and many asked for DOS files - so
- DOS would have needed to be loaded. My internet service provider said,
- "don't even try to install on 95, call us when you have 2 free hours",
- PageMaker 5 would not work with FaxTalk for Windows. 95 is an icon
- riden, Mircosoft favoring, machine slowing KLUDGE.
-
- Power and control over the desktop was taken away from the user and
- nestled into MicroShafts hardware installation and desktop control
- functions. Those of us savvy in Windows we screwed - this OS is a
- takeoff of a MAC - no control over the system.
-
- And wasn't it nice of MicroShaft to bone you to upgrade their software
- (Office) to 32 bit - and it aint cheap either.
-
- 95 sucks - it came off my PC in two weeks - fed up with inability to work
- with applications over 1 year old, inability to work with many DOS based
- apps, and the overall slowness on a P100 w/16mb ram.

- >Thanks Bill Gates!
-
- Yeah - thanks for nothing!
-
- I have two good sides of 95 - usability of my right mouse button and
- general pleasing interface.
