Say what? Ninety per cent! Yet another delusional post from a Wintel user. Window 3.x has less than 60% of the desktop O/S market. Win95 has close to *zero* per cent. In any case, I think you completely missed the point of the article, Harlan. It clearly is *not* altruism that motivates either the writer or his employer from possibly dropping support for Win95 - it is economic necessity. They are apparently coming to the conclusion that the return from Win95 product development (at least for the TCP/IP-based product he was referring to) does not justify the excessive development costs of same. -- Don Andrachuk DEA Systems
