To add some fuel to the Microsoft fire... A while back I wrote a
hack to reprogram the 8053 in my AT&T PC6300 so that I could boot
IBM DOS on it and not have the clock gain time.

Lo and behold, while Windows was running, the clock gained time.
When Windows exited, the clock was back to not gaining time.

The ultimate solution was to get DOS 3.2 from AT&T, and then to
eventaully kick out Windows.  It'll be interesting to see what
little offensive things Windows 2 has in store for us.
