Maybe the list simply needs to take a firm non-Windows stance, or else

I for one don't care to see any posts about Windows, but wouldn't object to
posts about say the Amiga OS 4.0 beta or an SGI Tezro.
I think that's a bit absolute. In 6 years, when Windows 3.0 will be 20
years old, if someone wishes to set up a Windows 3.0 box for a historical
exhibit, it should be perfectly acceptable to discuss that here.
(I told you exceptions will apply ;')

I have PCs running windows because I must, but I
don't need the latest
and greatest Microsoft offering, I am running Windows NT4.0 with Office
95 (which btw will soon be covered by the 10 year boundary :-).
I expect the 10 year boundary for the list may be revised soon ;)
