re challenge to microsoft supporters jack feenix metronet com jack hudler writes it s called the free enterprize system i suggests that those who wish to enhance dos do it an sell it or give it away microsoft can t be everything to everyone period it has been done but the other companies don t have the marketing budgets that ms do dos for instance is everything that command com should have been but never could be under ms those who use it usually find it more addictive than crack cocaine but they have to rely on word of mouth for sales it seems to have worked pretty good so far but your corporate weenie manager type usually likes to see a big glossy ad in pc magazine that s okay marketing isn t a fundamental human right but they ve got a product that s superior to the dos command interpreter in every way they have a lot more to be proud of than ms does if ms really gave a damn they could duplicate it buy it outright they ve got the money or even use the old ruse of sending engineers out to help them with compatability issues and absconding with the technology dos is a mediocre product at a cheap price backed up by top notch marketing and vendor agreements the mediocre was excusable in the early days when it was someone else s hack but they ve had ten years to play with it an interesting thought on that most ms products that i m aware of in the last few years allow you to access the names of the designers and programmers through easter egg screens including windows or at least have the names buried in the files is there such a thing in dos and or are they too ashamed to have their names on it there s at least one fool in every married couple
