That's rich, "Windows 95 was magnificently stable..." I never saw more than 
three or four days uptime on a Windows 95 box in our environment supporting a 
couple thousand 95 boxes. I wouldn't call that stable nor reliable. Still it 
was better than 3.x.

Hm, I just figured they were trying to stay afloat. Something that most OS 
based businesses have had a difficult time doing. I bet some of the folks that 
work for Red Hat have families to take care of and I doubt any of them are 
going to be future millionaires a la more than 2000 MS employees (and 
counting).
