I actually got the beta of Win95, that was pretty slick stuff at the time. I
loved it, but it didn't multitask as well as OS/2 so I went back to OS/2.

They'd really have to fix Arca up A LOT for me to use it on my main system
though. I have several windows only programs that I use and just to far deep in
the Windows ecosystem now to change to something else. But that's ok. I use
Windows 10 on my main computers, then I have OS/2 and Linux on some others that
I play with.
