I think that goes back to MS-SOD and win 3.11. They were the company everyone
loved to hate.  And as they went on they became more and more overbearing.
Most MS-SOD stuff was pretty solid for me, you'd get the odd software badly
written that'd screw things over... was able to configure 3.11 but never used
it... skipped to 95 before I started down that path... the other thing was
poor relative performance win 3.x was giving compared to ms-sod.
