Before making : your decision switching from DOS/Windows to Win95, Warp ,NT or even : Linux, have you consider what you have to forgone in order to justify the : switch? [Good article deleted] I think that this article pretty much sums it up. While the Microsoft media machine is trying to make people make the switch, there really is no need for the majority of people to switch. They will, though, because there is the promise of something new and exciting over the horizon. I'm already hearing people talk about bits, and it makes me wonder how many of them actually know what a bit is. "Guess more of them must be good, right?" If that were the case, we'd all be running Atari Jaguars and DEC Alphas. Just my two bits worth.
