[Enormous post snipped]

I'll keep this very short; but I'm compelled to respond just as I would
be if I read inaccurate information about the HP 3000 on an NT list..

Denys's post contains serious factual errors, both about the Macintosh
and about Windows 95. If the subject of the original post is important to
you, I urge you to check original sources and not rely on the content of
the post.

The entire debate is irrelevant: what matters in the end is suitability
to the purpose, not architecture or history or advertising or management
personalities. Selecting or rejecting a platform on any basis other than
system and vendor performance is an inexcusable breach of professional
ethics, if someone is paying for the advice.
