The problem is Windows95 and DOS are junk to begin with.
Then you try to graft a *GOOD* idea onto them with duct tape.
What do you think the results are gonna be like?

Plug-and-play has an *UNDESERVED* bad reputation because of

Now take LINUX, a real OS with Plug-and-Play support designed
by people who hate the way the existing Plug-and-Play systems
work. The results just *HAVE* to be good! :-)
