Over the last 25+ years, I have known quite a few people who have worked
at MICROS~1, who were nevertheless good people. (fewer and fewer now)

Sure. But on this list, let's stick with the things that they did wrong
over 10 years ago, such as SMARTDRIVE. Complaints, no matter how valid,
about Windoze95 should be saved for another two and a half years. THEN
they will be appropriate. They did PLENTY of stuff to complain about that
is ON-topic! The Windoze 3.10 Beta program (August 1991) seems to me to
be when they completely switched Beta from testing to yes-men.
'Course for us old farts, it's hard to accept that even Amiga and Mac or
on-topic. Were they really THAT long ago?
