After I finished reading the article ``Exploring Chicago and Daytona'' (November 1994), I wondered about BYTE's motives to create such useless drivel. Maybe, 1) you forgot about integrity and jumped on the Microsoft bandwagon; or 2) BYTE editors had too much time on their hands; or 3) space aliens invaded BYTE.
If you ask, ``Do you agree...,'' then you should allow the reader to respond, ``No.'' You have assumed that Chicago and Daytona are the greatest operating systems and have completely ignored the possibility that some people may not want to upgrade to another Microsoft operating system.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
