I'm thinking about going (got my badge in the mail about a month ago
from last year's pre-registration).

I'm wondering if Microsoft will be having a large group of support/"techie"-type
people there to answer hard questions about win'95 -- with the rate of questions
& problems being posted on the related win'95 newsgroups, I'm also wondering:
1) how many returns of win'95 have shown up at CompUSA and the other 
   stores that sell it?
2) how many people are having major problems with running their software?
3) when they will create a more informative message before "SAFE" mode is
   entered -- it's fun trying to figure out what could really cause the
   system to enter this mode....

just random thoughts....

p.s.  i'd like to find out if their comments about being able to run faster 
during the install process could cause them to get into trouble for false
advertising.  doom running on my 486dx2-66/8mb ram system runs good...but
under win'95, it acts like it's running on a 386-25 or so style machine...

>Um....yup....could be! ;-) Why do you ask?

Just wondering if there will be any other OS/2-fans like
myself wandering into 'enemy territory'.  :)

I'll be the Indian with the "OS/2 Warp" t-shirt on!

Heh, heh, heh. Try running a real multi-tasking os instead! If you really
want to shut down your game, try downloading some files, running a win3.1
app and running doom at the same time. Betcha lose data on the download
and doom will lock up or very nearly stop dead in its tracks.

I'm going, too, since my credentials also arrived some time back.  Might
as well -- stock up on pens, floppies (for backup), balloons, mouse pads,
etc.  My supplies are running out ;-)

Not a chance.  MS will send a bunch of professional trade-show attendees
for their booth.  If you ask a technical question, they will give you
the 800-number.

Runs at a nice clip on my 486/66.  In fact, I didn't notice any speed
loss at all.
