Be shure: It is!
There is NO other reason.
Everybody knows, that he only buy bugs by buying a M$ product
and must pay another time to get a service pack which wil
repair one of the bugs by leaving 10 others.
Why buy all this fools Gates-Ware?

"some support for DOS" ist not enough.
WIN-NT has a nearly complete incompatible DOS-Box. So
it's impossible to run small, fast and stabile DOS-
Applications under WIN-NT.
This is one of the reasons, I prefer OS/2 instead of WIN-NT.
ciao Werner
