[ale] windows 98 drags bhind as usuall.

I'm just waiting to see which things they push as a new idea.

> 	2)  the ability to run programs at set times.

Hmmm..wonder who they bought for that.

> 	6)  dynamicly changing resolutions (w/out having to reboot)

That's already there - you just can't change color depths.  Or am I
getting 95 and NT confused?

> 	9)  Multiple display support.  What a novel concept.

A lot of this has to do with the crappy PC architecture not really dealing
that well with this.  I think most cards that can handle it come with
drivers to do so.   I'd love to have 95 on one screen and a DOS window on
the other mono screen - or Linux on both (damn multimonitor patches.)

Ahh...great - now people will be running inet servers off win98 boxes over
dialin - this will give new meanings to up and downs on the net.

Actually, it's more of a permutation of html and hyperlinks in everything.
You can get IE 4.0 and see this - in the words of Jay Sherman (The Critic)
"It STINKS!"

> 	15) IP tunneling/encapsulation.

Win98 routers?
