|You're really kidding, right? I mean, this isn't the first time you've

|Dynamic? Verstaile? Does my insurance cover hospitalization for laughing

|That's dynamic and versatile? Your dynamism and versatility, to whatever
|extent you have them, came as a result of Microsoft copying the Mac OS.
|So, if your PC is "dymanic and versatile," and it is nothing more than a
|pale copy of a Mac, what does this say about the Mac?
But Counselor!
Windows versions 1 to 3.1, "95" (4.0) and "98" (4.1) work on top of
DOS. NT does not and never did. In fact, Windows '98 is the last
version that will sit on top of DOS.
Windows NT is built like the proverbial "Brick Privvy". When Windows
2000 (NT 5.0) becomes the *** desktop you Mac users will say:
"Why the F**k did I hop into the taxi that Buckshot is driving?!! -
Them Microsoft guys never seem to crash!"
And yes, NT is 4-5 times more stable than 98.
And Apple stole the GUI idea from Xerox PARC.
