>That's not good. Some of us either can't run Win95, or just don't TRUST it.
Get with the program. Hardware companies such as Matrox, Rendition,
Creatlive Labs, etc are building Win95 compatibility into their
hardware, and finally we'll be able to kiss 256 color, low-frame-rate
software goodbye. Whether you like or trust Win95, the fact of the
matter is that virtually every *** company is transitioning there,
and there is good reason to. You have a very simple choice: stand on
the sidelines while everyone else is enjoying the benefits that come
with DirectX with ample SW and HW vendor support, or join in the fun.
In any event, don't blame game companies from moving with the
industry. They simply cannot and will not continue to write DOS
games. It is just too much hassle to deal with extenders, writing
custom drivers for everything, testing the myriad hardware
configurations etc. Win95, while not perfect, at least promotes
hardware and driver standards that will allow *** companies to
spend more time writing cutting edge games and not worrying about
hardware configurations.
So your choice is simple. Upgrade and play, or stay behind and whine.
