I read your sidebar about Microsoft's Windows 95 Migration Planning Kit ("How Best to Migrate to Windows 95," July). Any search tool that requires you to already have Excel, Word, and Power Point installed will be "cluttered and counterintuitive." And I think you were too easy on Microsoft when you called their Windows 95 payback spreadsheet "an incomplete business-analysis tool." It's not incomplete, it's totally useless. I'll stick to Windows 3.11 while this first wave of Windows 95 drowns all the early adopters.

Hey, I think you guys down at BYTE are a little biased toward Windows. You praise Windows 95 when it had not even been delivered. Don't talk about how good it is and just totally ignore a real 32-bit operating system like OS/2.

We don't ignore OS/2. See this month's review of Warp Connect ("Networking at Warp Speed," page 235).--Eds.

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