I knew only DOS and windoze 95 before, DOS isn't an OS at all, but that is adventage too. but i needed something that made full use of my 25Mhz 486. Windoze definitely wasn't good in it. it just wasted hardware resources giving nothing. that's why i tried to seek something different. and found linux.. after some time NetBSD, then FreeBSD. today - most of these wannabe-FreeBSD-users just don't want to pay for windoze. nothing else!
