- Mr ">>" who wrote all this "up with win95" bullshit is soo-oo ill
- informed. True: OS/2 does not run "32bit" win95 apps....but hey did
- you know that Win 95 "32 bit apps" are not 32bit! Heck Windoze NT is
- the only *REAL* 32 Bit OS by Microsoft.
-
- 'Tis True that Multithreading/tasking is offered by OS/2 and nay for
- Windoze 95.
- No apps for OS/2 you say? Well the local stores seem to go along with
- the flow and mainstream naive people who purchase a 1st generation
- operating system with 1000 known bugs (aka: Win95). The 32bit apps for
- OS/2 are real and out there....it's just a matter of going to
- non-lamer stores that bother to offer their clients with quality
- software that gets stuff done at 32bit speeds.
-
- If you are a Windoze junkie (no offense intended...socialization has
- caused many people to be some and I've been one for a long time too),
- IBM is offering 32Bit compatibility for OS/2 within the year and most
- likely for FREE!
- You're bitching that 1 Year is too long. Well I wouldnt. Would you
- rather wait even longer for the "long awaited "32 BIT" Windoze 95" ?
- You did wait longer? HEh and whats even funnier: You waited for a 1000
- bugged up OS. And for the next version of a bug-free windoze9X that
- you should have gotten in the first place, you'll have to Pay!
-
- And finally. Ever heard of the greatly respected young Company of
- Netscape!?? They were one Co. that was better than Microshit in terms
- of Browsers and Servers. Micrsoft has killed Netscape as of recent.
- Netscape was the first to offer a free browser and charge for a server
- program ($1000) to obtain a new clientel. It worked: over 80% of
- netsurfers use Netscape. Gates couldn't take this revelation so he
- used his slew of money in a cheap "I RULE THE INTERNET WAY" to kill
- Netscape at their own game. MS offers their Server Software *&*
- Browser software for free; a method that Netscape can't afford to
- do....= DOOM for Netscape!
-
- No I don't work for IBM, nor am I a member of TEam OS/2. I'm just a
- teen guy like so many others who loved Windoze software. I didn't need
- to learn all of this info, anyone can by just being shown the truth of
- the ripoff we call Microsoft!
-
- IF you want even more reasons to use OS/2 WARP...approach and Team
- OS/2 Member and they will provide you with the straight up truthful
- honest advice and help.
