: 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

: Micro$oft is a triumph in marketing and no mistake. Let's hope that

Well, I found this in the local paper yesterday, (NT News, 21st October 95) pg
19,
"The company (Microsoft) said it did not plan to issue a so-called
maintenance version of Windows 95 fixing minor problems in the near future"
and,
"The company said seven million units of Windows 95 had been purchased
either as an upgrade or installed on new computers"
Well, theres more OS/2 owners, then Win95 owners; theres even more Amiga owners
then Win95 owners!
Not to mention the Amiga and OS/2 and every other OS on the planet has more
32-bit apps then Win95.
The on the same page, Australia Post has also banned Win95 from being installed
on their computers. Billy boy just keeps on shooting himself in the foot!!
: Won't happen though, nothing good like that ever does :(
