BACKGROUND:	Originally, comp.windows.ms was a programmer-oriented group,
		but after the introduction of Windows 3.0, the group has
		been dominated by both general Windows discussion as well as
		articles related to Windows installation and video drivers.
		As it is now almost four months after the 3.0 introduction,
		and MS-Windows is the best-selling piece of software on this
		planet, the non-programming topics are unlikely to disappear.

		The current volume in comp.windows.ms is approximately 250
		articles per week.
