- And I don't know too many Windows users who would give up the
- Windows interface for the Mac GUI either. Note that the interface and
- Program Manager are two different things. Program Manager sucks, but I
- use other shells.

- I have to agree with this. Since NT is basically a Windows
- successor, I'd like to see a more object oriented environment. WPS is OK,
- but it's still a long ways from object oriented.

- I don't know what the heck your friend's doing, but I can practically
- guarantee you it's something wrong. We have NT running on a Dell 483/33 with
- 16 megs of RAM, and it's performance is certainly acceptable. It took about
- 20+ demo programs running at the same time before we noticed an appreciable
- CPU slowdown. If you want slow, try OS/2 on a 4 meg 386.
