That explains everything!!!! PC Weak (TM) is very pro-Windows -- they'll
bash anything that come against the W-95/W-NT duo. In their own
comparison, W-95/W-NT are infinitely superior to OS/2 and the various
flavours of Unix out there. Of course, the comparisons are rigged so
W-95/W-NT will look good.

When I was watching that PBS show, I couldn't figure out why the show had
pro-M$ theme to it yet it didn't have "$ grant" by M$. Now everything make
sense!
