[cctalk] Re: MS-DOS

Amazing detail and story (feel bad snipping out). I remember some rumor about either NT or 2000 and a claim that Microsoft lost the source code, hence no more versions (maybe it was win 2000 since only 2 service packs?). Does anyone know if that was just Internet rumor of the times or was that factual? I felt that was part of the change of the OS going forward and being more of a hybrid of 98/NT which as others said, was a win for gaming and graphics support. A friend used to try to play games on NT 4.0, mostly either Warcraft and I think panzer general but I recall getting sound drivers to work was a chore. My friend base and i stuck with 98se for a long time but eventually migrated to either 2000 or XP but I honestly can't remember which we used longer. I know (before windows 2000), we all uninstalled windows ME and went back to 98se but that was due to performance issues with ME.
