Why don't you check every PC and technology magazine in the year 1991-
and 1993 in the library?  It's on print.

By the way, go check techweb.com, infoworld.com and news.com on how NT 
5.0 and Windows 97 is delayed.  Once again.

Since you are caught flatfooted, your only resort is to being pedantic 
about definitions.

By the way, Joseph calls you an "apologist".  I call you a 
"revisionist".  Like any MS lame head, you are trying to redress and 
revise the whole experience of history according to the MS outlook.

Chris
