  According to NG magazine, VM Labs has six or so electronics companies that 
are backing them - that's pretty good for a company who's almost a nobody in 
the gaming realms.  The few test screens that are in the magazine don't 
really show much - they're psychadelic patterns that don't really hold much 
relevancy to gaming.  But they ARE kind of nice!

  There you go.  Your machine isn't exactly par for the course.  There are 
usually machines far above (or far below) yours.  You're stuck in between; 
your machine's fast enough to be worthwhile for Win 95, but not fast enough 
to run it flawlessly.

  Not exactly stable, but so long as it's stable enough to run games without 
a hitch, who's to complain?  :-)  It at least shows that Microsoft has a 
genuine interest in supporting gamers, not like IBM or Apple.

  Thanks for agreeing.  I think you're just more interested in attacking the 
biggest target (will $19 billion dollars' worth of CEO do?), not necessarily 
deriding any problems in an OS.  After all, you're not attacking Steve Jobs, 
are you?  :-)
