Quite correct!

This is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

The registration file that is uploaded is generated in your Windows
directory. Take a look for yourself, it doesn't contain flamable material.

Again, we have yet another thread crossposted to various incompatible
groups, and yet again, frantic Linux and OS/2 users are bashing MS.

So let me fire one back:
MS have a complete operating system solution. They've got Win95 for
the various smaller computers on a LAN. Win95 is user friendly, reliable,
easy to install, stable and is an overall nice operating system that is
virtually free.

Incidentally, Win95 integrates real well with NT. Surprise. NT offer the
ultimate security, stability, performance, easy installation and is
also relatively cheap (whatever MS charges for it, you save during
installation and training). NT can be just the standard domain and file
server, or one could expand it to become a web server and perhaps a
remote access server (effectively making it possible to become an
internet service vendor). All this while still being able to run every
Windows and Win95 app out there...

The combination of the two is *hot*. We use it and it's definately
recommendable. If you want to get any work done, then this is the way
to go.
