Windows 95 - The Right Choice
So you've all heard of OS/2 warp. Here's why Windows 95 is the right operating
system for you!
Enhanced Error Handling:
Over the past 12 months, MicroSoft have been working intesively on the bugs
inherent in Windows 3.1. The result: an advanced operating system with
greatly enhanced bugs. All of the Windows 3.1 bugs are present in Windows 95,
and run faster than ever. We have also introduced a range of new bugs never
before seen in an operating system of this type. Whether you are a
professional programmer, a casual user, or a game player, Windows 95 offers a
larger range of bugs than any other operating system on the markey.
32-bit memory management:
Windows 95 offers full 32 bit management of 16 bit memory. After a
considerable amount of work, the familiar "General Protection Fault" is nowhere
to be seen. The GPF has been replaced by two significantly improved errors:
"Specific Protection Fault" - used to corrupt an individual 16-bit process.
"Global Protection Fault" - this powerful memory management facility will
allow a corrupt process not only to corrupt all other running processes, but
corrupt process on all other machines within a five-mile radius. Even now
we are developing "pre-emptive" memory management, which will be able
to corrupt processes which are not yet running!
Threaded Multitasking:
The cooperative multi-tasking found in windows 3.1 has been replaced
with the far more powerful "uncooperative multi-tasking". This
enhancement will allow several processes to crash simultaneously.
Our new crash protection facility greatly enhances the multitasking
environment. Should one process fail, the CPF will prevent this process
from being disturbed by other cleanly running processes. The multi-
threaded environment allows one process to generate multiple errors,
while still remaining sperate from other threads.
Time saving Abilities:
Everyone has had their system crash whilst editing a document that had not
yet been saved. Re-entering the lost data can be frustating and
time-consuming. Windows 95 eliminates this problem by causing processes to
crash MUCH earlier, significantly reducing data loss.
So, anyone can see why Windows 95 offers greater power at a greater price than
any other operating system available today. So, when choosing your next
operating system, remember our motto. Windows 95 - Tommorow's bugs... Today!
