Hi,
Well the weather now days is changing and it looks like Netscape may
be able to level the playing field. Another area that Unix at least
on the PC area could possibly have a significant impact is if there
was a good emulation layer to run Windows 95. You see people have
invested time and money into the existing Windows based apps and
they are not liable to switch to an OS just on the merits of its
performance. You shall the faces of people who know Unix and Windows
when I ask them if they can run your Win95 apps on FreeBSD would
you consider FreeBSD? The answer : Heck Yeah!
