No... except DOS 6 then and when, when I want to use old chess software like Socrates etc., for a few games. Generally, I find it a pain that there are so many Windows versions. This is not very useful. I.e., one version offers SMP support but some games or chess programs won't run, and vice versa... It should be possible to make ONE Windows version which includes anything of that and be supported by anybody. Too bad that not quality, but software availabilty decided, which OS dominates now. This was the case back in the C64 days (when other homecomputers were better, but less supported). Also, the Archimedes computer was ahead of it's time in the early 80s. It was too expensive. I had an Amiga. PCs became faster and components cheaper than the Amiga stuff, so I use PCs since 1992, DOS & Windows. Regards, M.Scheidl
