BJ, wake up.  Any computer can run any other computer's software if it's
based on an add-on card.  We're talking about from the CPU here.  The
Pentium II can still run old DOS crap nativly.  The Mac cannot run II
software *natively*.  it must be either emulated, or run through the
add-on hardware.

No, but you act like you're the first to be enlightened to what is already
obvious to everybody.  Of course it must be severed!  But any company with
a brain does it over time, not instantly - and like it or not, that's why
windows 95 was invented.  It's a transition-stage OS to bring windows
users into NT technology, over time.  Seems to be working just fine.  Now
go finish your other foot.
