Remember the saying, "Windows95 = Apple '87"?

So economical.
VMS, RSTS, MUMPS, CPM, PICOS (provided you had a UPS) where all very stable.
As for freeware stability on Vista, who knows I think its a case of "try it and see what happens".
I remember the war between CPM, DR DOS and MS DOS.Quote:

For about a semester!
Now my mobile phone has a 4 Gb MicroSD card that, if I want, can be pushed to 16Gb.
The thing itself has 160Mb internal!
Correct me if I am wrong, but, aren't MSDOS based p.c's still locked into 640k?
