One our customers did a lot of research on weather (sic) to upgrade all their Windows for Workgroup PCs across Canada to Win95 or NT4. After checking several of their software on both, they clearly decided that NT workstation was too slow and incompatible with critical programs / applications that they needed. Running Win3.11 on what, 486-40's w/4 or 8 meg of RAM and a 1 gig hard drive (or smaller)? Just the kind of machines to run NT efficiently, not. I am very satisfied with Win95 and will likely stay with it until MSFT has worked all the Win98 bugs out and I somehow get ahold of a free copy somewhere (a promo I hope). I sure as hell wont pay for a few minor features. Win98 is a bug fix for Win95. Around 3,000 or so, I've heard. As far as the new features are concerned, some want them and some don't. The jury is still out on ultimate sales numbers. As far as cost, getting an enhanced OS for the same price as a few months of internet service sounds like a good deal to me. I see that you've been a cheerleader on the NOVL board. Nothing wrong with that, but a degree of objectivity when posting here will gain you more respect. Regards, JB
