I'm sure (foolish?!?) that they are going to come through with a genuine graphical OS in the upcoming iteration of Windoze (98 - 99?) since there has been quite a bit of talk concerning the piece of beta crap they shipped in those Windoze boxes. > Well, I have seen Win95 boxes where the explorer took very long to start > up, probably due to network problems.
