You're right of course Pascal :-)

From Windows 95 to Windows XP is like night and day.  They finally got it
right :-).  I have to admit.  Where they''ll go next however may be a
different stury but I dont know yet.  we'll have to follow though on that.

Indeed there's a lot of work ahead of us to attempt to top that.  and Of
course it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it ;-) either.  But like Microsoft we
should be more than one on the project each with expertise in each part of
what's needed to make anything close to Windows XP.  (Networking, Internet,
GUI Design, Artists, System Access, OS development, etc etc..).  and see if
we can make it all fit together.
