Nah, you're wrong Mike. It's obvious what consumers want is the 2-year old retail version of Windows 95 that the OEMs won't touch. Bugs and all. I mean, it's the best selling software title, so it has to be what they want. The verdict is in! The market has spoken! I don't understand what the problem with the OEMs is, insisting on installing this new, upgraded OSR2 when the retail version is what the customers want. I mean, don't you think if they really wanted OSR2 Microsoft would make it available to them? Microsoft is taking us where we want to go! Today! Cheers, Dan.

The DOJ is moving in the right direction for MSFT. They are messing up. If consumers think that Windows is difficult to use, they will have a heart attack if they try to use UNIX based NC's. Think about it. Which spread sheet is the easiest to use? Which Wordprocessor is the easiest to use? how about database? Presentation program? Which ones use natural language and artifiical intelligence? Isn't an integrated browser easier to use than two separate products? Your arguments are starting to lose cohesiveness.
