: Interesting...a moral defense for an immoral corporation...

You putting Microsoft in the same league as the industrials who dump waste
into our rivers?  Or a cigarette company?  

There are immoral companies out there, but as far as I am concerned, MSFT
is just an aggressive company using standard business tactics to win
profits, and they do do without killing anyone or creating physical
damage.

Netscape hangs my computer less than IE4, so I use netscape, but there are
no PC OS's better than Win95 (or NT or whatever).  Win95 runs just fine on
my new Pentium 2 300 with 128M of RAM.  It cost me under three grand (and
that is with 17" monitor, 3Dfx card, AWE 64 sound, 4.3G Quantum Fireball
HDD, 32x CD-rom....  computers are cheap, and getting cheaper so fast that
my best quote on a computer was $50 cheaper this week than last week for
the same system, because each of the componants went down a few bucks.

Stop winging about Win95 being slow when computers are so fast!

Say what you want about Win 3.XX and older MSFT products, they were
absolute crap.  But Win95 is 1000x better than TSRs!
