That may be the best thing written on this topic. I agree with the first
paragraph from experience, for the most part. Not being an NT user I can't
answer for the second, though the principles supposed to underly NT design
do seem to be what Win should have been based on in the first place.
This is why Linux needs the good applications ported to it: there is no doubt
that a lot of the applications available for DOS/Win3.1/Win95 are excellent,
and if you need them then you have to find a way of running them.
Best wishes to all,
Ted.
