Isn't that what they said about '98 and, later, about the 2000?
I think they don't have any choice. The amount of errors and lockups
grows exponentially since the Windows 95, and it has to stop somewhere.
There is an opinion on the Net that the 98 is simply a fancy facelift
and service pack for the 95... A lot of these errors comes from the
older code, and they will have to get rid of it.
