I was planning to stay out of the Win95 thread, but have to comment
on one posting...

What the @#$%^ have you been smoking?  :)
 
Of COURSE "billions of $'s" can be wrong ... and of COURSE the world
is that stupid.
 
Examples are far too numerous, unfortunately, both in terms of lousy
products/ideas that become the market winner (IBM mainframes, Unix, PCs,
soft drinks in cans, tobacco products) and good products that die or limp
along (HP3000, Burroughs, Amiga, Mac, soft drinks in glass bottles).
 
Far too many people equate market dominance with technical superiority.
It doesn't mean that!  It means precisely one thing: more was sold of that
product than any other.  Period.  No motivations, no reasons, no excuses,
no implications ... merely one single fact.
