re: "No most are pretty happy I think" I survey was commissioned just a week or so ago, that showed Americans as mostly behind MSFT. If I find it, I'll post it.

and PCs are mostly running Windows 3.1 - there is a resistance there to upgrading to Windows 95. I wonder why? Philosophical reasons? I have a friend who just loved Windows for workgroups, and was very resistent to Win95. In fact, when he bought a new computer that had Win95 on it, he formatted the HD and installed Win/fwg. That was after a whole lot of bitching and whining about how terrible Win95 was. But after a few weeks, I formatted his HD again and reinstalled Win95. He became a fervent proponent of Win95, and the last time I talked to him he was telling me how crazy I was not to have downloaded IE 4.0 yet. -GG- DK
