    Gates said the release of XP "marked the end of an era, the end of DOS and also the end of Windows 95." You can read the full article here. Jon Sagara I can't think of anything original to say.

      I'm really looking forward to the day where we only have to develop for NT based systems... I'm scared to death of the day when this is the only system you're allowed to develop for... "1984" anyone?

        Now I just wait for the end of Win98 and ME. ;) I'm really looking forward to the day where we only have to develop for NT based systems... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

        See if Bill was a really nice guy, he'd use some of his fortune and buy back all the copies of Win98 and ME (especially ME). It would certainly make my life easier and I'm sure he can afford it. Michael :-)

            Here, here. Just on an aside is it here, here or is it hear, hear ? I always say hear, hear but I may be wrong. It brings to mind a politician in cabinet shouting "hear, hear" i.e. hear me now.

              Yeah, right. The company I work for is still buying MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 licenses from M$ for an application I wrote *ten* years ago. As long as the money flows, they'll still sell it. Supporting it, however, is another kettle of crustaceans... Gary R. Wheeler

                Well I guess that since Windows 3.x, 9x, and ME were *ALL* simply graphical memory manager applications running on top of MS-DOS, that would make perfect sense.

                    were times and companies where old versions became free because they belived new version are much better and this politics will bring new customers which will buy them finding old version borders (but this is more about w95, isn't it?) t!

                      Scared of goblins under your bed too? Naaah, I've never met a Goblin IRL. :-) But, I have seen som really scary stuff happening in the USA re. laws lately. Dmitry is just the tip of an iceberg I'm afraid.
