Because MS-bashing on a Debian-centric list does wonder for promoting
the usage of FOSS software, right?
Maybe you forgot how great of an OS Win98 was at the time. That was a
different world than today, and even now seeing how responsive Win98
is on old hardware (it flies on 64 MiB RAM) it makes me wonder why
Debian is sometimes sluggish on 512 MiB machines with >1 GHz
procesors.
