  Yair... Windows 95 is going to come in with the same disadvantage
that OS/2 faced... a mature system as competition.  M$ has a difficult
marketing problem - the same problem they had with NT. If they say
that W95 is great, they'll lose on W311 - if they make it a downscale
promotion, they open the way for OS/2, which people will see as the
alternative to W95. I won't be "upgrading" to W95 unless M$ give it
away free. I'll wait till the W95 hype, and then gently slip into OS/2
until M$ sort out the bugs in a year or two.

  It's interesting that my instincts were right about OS/2 so far.
Warp is just an expensive bug-fix for OS2/Windows, and it looks like
IBM managed to stuff that too. They must get it right soon, and then
I'll be in like Flynn with whatever they're calling it my then
(Puce-box Klingon?). I picked it right with Windows 3.1, too.

Regards,
Bob
