What people want is performance, not pretty pictures.

That is 'xactly what I said when I was forced into Windows ---- 3.0 ---- 1990.

DOS was plenty good, especially with a few GUI programs.

Actually, without all the add-on crap, Windows is just a fancy menuing system. XP still runs some old DOS programs in a DOS window.

Do you remember Deskview? Or Geoworks? I also have a copy of the last version of Borland's Quattro Pro 4.0 for DOS. Its GUI looks just like Windows, but it runs in 640K (yes, that's K!) of RAM... /grin

I liked DOS too, but not Bill, oh know he had to put Steve Jobs out of business, so he stole Windows from Apple and the courts let him get away with it.
