Lucius, The big company strategy that you mentioned is exactly what countless companies will in fact be doing. NT5 is a revolutionary OS that is HUGE. It is almost a guarentee that it will be riddled with bugs and the industry IT consumers know this. Only a few brave or stupid bleeding edge soles will actually enter into the den with the NT5 beast. Not only that, Y2K will be another huge factor why no one will touch this code until mid 2000. As for your personal reasons, I dont know what your experiencing but I have been using Win95 on my two computers (home desktop computer with full multi-media and my business notebook with multi-media). Except for a few freeze ups, I find Win95 - OSR2.1 very stable and it gives me little grief. I have no desire or need what so ever for Win98. Much less do I even want to touch NT on my desktop. Many older and even current applications and games do not run on Nt where they have no problems on Win95. A co-worker in my group was a strong advocate of NT desktop. After countless weeks of grief on application incompatibilities at work, he finally agreed that NT is not ready for the desktop. One our customers did a lot of research on weather 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. But who am I to stop you from upgrading (or downgrading in my opinion) your personal PC to NT. Good Luck to you on your upgrade. 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. But acording to Shawn, everyone in his town wants Win98 - LOL! Cheers Lucius! Nice posting with you. Toy
