I have never had problem one with Egale Point. Or with 13R for
Windows. Hoever, it took some doing to get 13R to understand
that my win32's were in fact installed prior to the 13R install.
Anyway while I do not agree with the business practices of MS
I will argue that MS has produced an a super piece of software
in Win95 and NT 3.51. Win95 has to be one of the best user
friendly OS(hrm..) out there. Some like it, some dont.
Its been my exp. with linux and the amount of upgrades that need
to be made there are many more bugs with linux than Win95. This
is of course an opinion.
