Go up one level in this thread


For a number of reasons:

1. Win 95/NT is multitasking...
2. 32 bit code flies on the P2/Pro chips...16 bit is a joke nowadays.  I.E.
wcrafty on my P133 notebook scores a pathetic 0.30 with the bench command.  My
PPro 233 scores a 1.29 in WinNT and 1.27 on Win95.
3.  Pleasing to the eye.
4.  Standard interface.
5. DOS is dead to most people...I use it for file work, etc.
