#Win95
6 messages in this thread
Thanks for the info. I haven't seen Win95 yet but indeed didn't hear very
positive things about it at our IT department.
And yes, I agree, the PC sucks. It's so horribly slow to use, it crashes all
the time…

Unfortunately Win95 is getting to the point where it is actually useable. Not
only that, I used to run DOS and sometimes windows and now I have to run
windows ALL the time.
If you try using your machine without Win95 loaded (you can still boot up win95
dos) then your long file names become corrupt.
Win95 still runs on top of dos BTW, it just installs both of them at the same
time. A lot of the code is still 16bit so it cannot always pre-emptively
multitask (which really means it cannot ever!).

Sounds like I'll be tied to my Amigas for some time to come.

Phillip,
PMFJI, but I am a obligatory PC-user too and I learned that OS/2 will get me
closer to AmigaDOS/Workbench than any other PC-OS can. I got so very tired of
Windows that I tried OS/2 one day and I was instantly enthousiastic about it.
Not that it can beat the Ami 🙂
Mario.

Apparently you weren't very impressed. Does that mean “Goodbye
multi-tasking?''
