Re:Not using HLT-instruction in W95+98, insane was (Score 1)

Thanks. If it was a smaller company where the impact on global pollution were negligible the decision would have been fine. Instead the OSes ended up on hundred of millions of computers which MS probably had expected. Some sort of workaround cannot have been that difficult to implement compared to the consequences. At least they could have made it easy for the consumers to turn on the HLT-instruction :-/
