I'll have to agree with you on that. My friend has an "aquired" beta
release, mainly since he's getting LW for PC soon, but now Windoze 95
crashes his machine everytime he boots up. Worse yet, the custom computer
design overlooked the boot-from-floppy option! He has to put the HD in
another computer to remove Win95. So, DEFINATLY, wait for the release
version! (personally, I was not impressed by it. The auto-saligning
windows are nice, but I like AmigaDOS far more...)
Just my $.02...
