I don't know if my last post got through, but i think we should ride on
the back of other success stories, and link Ada to very successul "here
and now" software.
Windows is a curious beast - it and the software that runs on it is often
criticised for being unreliable, yet it is regarded as the defacto
operating system. We could pull these threads together and use them to our
advantage...

E.g.

        Ada - for reliable Windows 95/98/NT software

        Ada - for Windows software that doesn't crash
