Hrm. As a long-term computer expert, I - for one - think standardization is a good thing.

I don't know about that. For starters there's been MVS, CMS, VMS, Unix, etc. Of course Oracle runs on all platforms. Makes me think that having a mono-OS isn't necessary. Some lemmings might not follow the crowd ... to their benefit.

I'd like to know the dollar amount of lost time due to virus amd worm attacks. Add in the lost time spent fixing, err maintaining Microscams OS and maybe Drucker wasn't wrong when he said computers didn't improve producivity.

Microsoft's scam foisting 95 on the public was a masterpiece. It probably worked far beuyond their expectations. It eventually killed OS2 in the corporate world and it forced programmers to write code for NT which was Microssoft's goal.
