>>>I understand all the capabilities of NT, but my point is why limit the
market share that R5 would have if would be easy to make it backwards
compatible with Win 95 as Microsoft has done with their NT products.<<<
I think MicroSoft would like to have everyone go to NT so they can dump all
that dos/16bit crap. The major stumbling point is that NT requires 8MB more
memory than Win95. Everyone knows that memory prices have not dropped as fast
as other components. I'm beginning to think the market is artificially
inflated. It must have something to do with that Micron lawsuit from a few
years back.
American companies were so protectant over RAM and LCD displays, but they have
gotten off their butts to create anything. I think they wanted protection so
they could sell at high prices to the gov/military, and we all know that costs
are being cut in the gov. so the defense industry is having problems.
