You should read what the marketting guy has to say. I forget which tread, I think one of the Linux ones. Any one who claims to be a program and supports Mac has got to be a fool. You should hust try VC++ 2.1, MFC 3.0, NT 3.51 if you want comercial apps and Linux/Lucid EMACS if you want personal programs. Just try it for a week. Learn just what Pre=emptive and real memory protection buys you. You wonder why so many people laugh at Macs (Windows to for that matter). If you are a programer there are very good reasons to hold the MacOS and Windows 3.x in equal distain.
