- Microsoft could probably go down in history in terms of being
- in the right place at the right time with a pretty mediocre
- product (MS-DOS). I think their main expertise has been marketing
- not actually software technology. (This is not a flame).

- does just about everything you need it to do. It's just not
- particularly intuitive or friendly about it.

- I'd like to try OS/2, but since our computer people won't support
- it, I'd have to buy it myself.
