- I have pointed out the problem with booting NT from OS/2 to one Microsoft
- official. His response was that it was a technical problem. Mind you, this is
- from the same official who was claiming that Borland was the first company to
- use undocumented calls AND he also implied that Novell can not program
- properly and this is the reason why DR DOS didn't function with Windows.
-
- I think Microsoft should start producing better products than producing
- nonsense and absurd statements! Like I said before, it will all come
- back...
