Besides, Dos is the best thing Microsoft ever had going.  The farther they get
from Dos the crappier their OS gets.  And the fact that Windows 98 is allot more
stable than Windows 95 doesn't say much because Dos is far more stable than
either one.

I'd rather see Ed's company stay with Dos, but I don't have the popular opinion.
