Good point! It would be an even better point, but I think Berksoft is a slightly smaller company than Microsoft (or is it just me). There are some computers, such as portables and XT clones, that want to ship a windowing system with the computer. I have a feeling that they chose the Berksoft system as opposed to Windows 3.0... They do have marketing (I saw an ad once). They have already integrated some applications which are far better when used together, and they eventually will have developer support. I have a feeling that there are more XT's than 486's out there... > >Hey, if I wanted an Amiga, I would have bought one. > >I'm sorry.
