Waiting like Win 3.1 users waited for Windows 93,  no 94,  no 95!  And
guess what now,  we're not waiting for something better than Windows 95, 
we're waiting for something *else* better than Windows 95!

Also,  check your history.  DOS is a truncated hybrid of CP/M & UNIX with
maybe 5% the functionality of either.  Also the "NT" in Windows NT stands
for the "new technology" that they're *copying* from the 25-year-old UNIX
standard.

UNIX isn't outdated by Windows,  more like the other way around!  Leave it
to M$ to fewl everyone into thinking *they* are the "cutting edge" when
all they are doing is XEROXing a 25-year-old "oudated" standard and then
selling it under Winblows while these poor duped customers could get more
functionality for *free* in the form of Linux!
