In regard to the quoted sticker ("Win95 = Mac 86"), I feel that the "new" XP
looks a lot like last years Mac-GUIs (especially Mac OS X, but also 9.5x),
which have been on the market a couple months before XP (and - as far as I can
see- strongly influenced the look of stuff like Netscape 5.1).
That's good news for Microsoft, because it shows they don't lag 9 years behind
anymore, only a couple months. ;=}
So, since they now are so close as per the OS, let's see Microsoft change the
X-Box into a proper PC to take on the new iMac (aka " that new Ikea lamp that
Jobs wants to sell us"). How'll Gates rise to the challenge, morph X-Box into a
kitchen-blender? A vacuum cleaner? A toaster?
