subject: Case Against Windows

  Windows has DISADVANTAGES (All of them are NOT Listed here):
1. Windows is VERY INEFFICIENT ("Gobbles" up TOO MUCH MEMORY).
2. Storage for Windows and all it's related Files requires a
   TREMENDOUS amount of Hard Drive Disk Space.
3. Windows Based Software requires MUCH MORE Disk Space compared
   to Dos Based Software.
4. Windows is a Haven for Viruses.  There are MANY "Places"
   (Opportunities) for a Virus to "Strike" or "Infect".
5. Power Interruption, while you are in Windows, is "VERY
   UNPLEASANT".
6. Windows Based Applications are a "PAIN" to remove when you
   want to Discard the Application.
7. It is a "Pain" to "Try" (Try before you Buy) a Windows Based
   Shareware Program, because most of them have to be
   "Installed".
  Conclusion:
  "Life" is Easier in Dos, but people are "Forced" to use Windows
because the Programs they want to use, UNFORTUNATELY, are Only
Windows Based.
  In all fairness, Windows does have some Advantages, but there
are More Disadvantages in my Opinion.
