Allen, Off Topic I don't have any experience with OS 8.1 but I find it is almost impossible to write a program to crash NT entirely (even after MS decided to move GDI module to ring0). I looked at the Copland architecture and I highly doubt it is more reliable than NT. About uninstall, the problem is that many softwares don't follow Win95 software development guideline. If Mac softwares don't follow the Mac's HCI guideline, Mac is a total mess like Win95 too. Mac achieved better reliability and UI consistency partly by its excellent detail HCI guideline (it is one of the classic example in UI course). This is something hard to carry out on OS like Win95 because there is infinite developers, however this is also one strong point of Win95. I guess a needle has only one sharp edge. BTW: registry does indeed missing a garbage collector. But any application who modify the registry should provide a uninstall routine (like most MS, Lotus, Borland applications) and there shouldn't be any problem. Unfortunately there are many developers who don't follow the guideline. aC
