size=2>Windows 98 is a good deal faster, has far better hardware support and is
more reliable at multitasking than Win95. Windows 95 with IE4 is nothing
like Windows 98, and for my money it will be worth upgradeing to when it is
released, which should be in the next 8 - 12 weeks.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I'm not a windows programmer but there may also be DLLs within windows
that can be called from EL that are damaging.

Chris and Mark, and folks reading,
I might trust locked code if it is commercial while distrusting
locked public domain code. If commercial software goes awry, you
know where to go. If locked public domain code, say, calls a DLL
and wrecks havoc, you may have no recourse but to wipe your box clean
and start all over from backups.
