[blah blah, sales pitch snipped]

What is it about microsoft products, that people spooge over new features in
future releases, that _should have been in the current release_

For instance, when VB4 came out, people where licking BGs boots because of
little usablility features that should have been in v2.  People seem glad
that His Billness has graced them with what they needed to be productive.

Micro$oft is a triumph in marketing and no mistake.  Let's hope that
Windows '95 is where it all falls through...

Won't happen though, nothing good like that ever does :(
