I know. It was the early 1990's when I was in engineering school and my first Co-op job employer had just implemented Win 3.1 on PCs and I LOVED IT! Drag and drop copy/move, and the system copy buffer was cool!

Then MicroSUCKS began improving it to death! Went through a number of crappy "upgrades" and would not even ADMIT Windows(R) was just a shell program running on DOS because it WAS! And we all knew it too! Until Win NT and them even better WinXP Pro which I am still using!

They don't have any choice. And Windows works well, over all.
