I hear everyday how people say that Microsoft just wants our money, WIN 95 has nothing over DOS and 3.x it's just a scam to get our money. I Will protest buying WIN 95 till I have to buy it!! Microsoft upgrades too much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------my reply: 1.)Sure Microsoft wants our money!! They have to feed their families too!! Look at cerial prices!! 4.xx a box!!! 24... THAT'S RIGHT!! 24 boxes of cerial= 1 win 95 upgrade CD!! 3 months of cerial!! instead of a program that laat forever!! Look at cable prices too!!! Now who wants all your money???!!! 2.)That's NOT true! Win 95 is soooo much more powerfull than DOS or 3.x!! It is a true 32 bit operating system, sounds unimportant right??Not really... This can be twice as good!! The new programing language is twice as easy and better too!!! <"But I like DOS!!"> Your point?? Dos is still there and better than ever!! <"DOS runs slow in a WIN 95 box"> True, but if you set it up to restart to dos whan you click on NASCAR, not only will it clear the memory, but it can have it's own config.sys and autoexec.bat optimising your machine specifically for NASCAR w\o slowing other programs. Some games do run better in WIN 95 dos box than is true dos. 3.) Why would you do that?? it's only 99$ to upgrade. Your protest won't hurt Microsoft, it'll just hurt your computer. I suggest 16 MB of Ram for Win 95. 8 is fine if your going to run your programs in DOS anyways. 4.) It does?? This is th first upgrade in a long time!! Sure they wen't from 3.1 to 3.11 recently, it really wasen't a big upgrade. It was just good for LAN's. You think Microsoft is bad... Look at Apple!! Well that's what I got to say!! (Probly got a lot of misspelings!! Disregard them!!) --Kai Fuller
