# It is true that a hatred for M$ doesn't make their products bad
I think that if microsoft abandoned some of their dodgy practices (ie buying the competition and whatever else the corporate side gets in trouble for) and focused on r&d (which it seems no one wants to do these days) they could make really good software.

I remember using windows 3.0 on top of MSDOS 5.0. I don't think I ever saw 1.0 but I might have on a demo machine. Strangly though I spent most of my time trying to program utilities in msqbasic so I can't say I used the gui very much.

# the trouble with most unix
OS' is that they don't look any better than windoes did 25 years ago ( when they stole their gui from Xerox )
