Well, I've been running win95 for 2 years now, and it has never crashed. I do some pretty funky stuff with configurations and stuff, too.. Oh wait, it crashed once, when I was testing the/con/con thing.. Anyways I'm gonna encourage people not to get this new windows - its easier to jump to dos and copy con file.txt, or edit file.txt, or pkunzip things, etc etc, than it is to do them under the GUI.. DOS is just about the only saving grace for windows, and if they remove that, well, i'm switching to obsd:-)
Soon enough a.zip type standard will gain dominance and such fussiness can end.. lzh, arj, and those other ones from dos days all eventually (should have?) died out and left.zip as the standard.. hell, why dont you linux guys just use that? pkunzip/d source target..
