Yeah, I guess I sort of did, but what I find really odd is that they would
bash themselves, and that they would do it in the manner they did.  While
the BSOD says Windows 95, the ad copy compares Windows 2000 to Windows 98
(which someone has pointed out that there is possibly an upgrade from
Windows 98 SE to Windows 2000).  I find this quite misleading.  Especially
so since the follow-on to Windows 9x is Windows ME, at least as far as I can
determine (what I've heard is that Windows 2000 *is* very stable, but like
MPE that stability comes at the cost of not supporting every PC peripheral
known to mankind and is therefore not recommended for the home user, which
is one of the main markets for Windows 9x).
