2 items on 8.6:
        1) 8.6 fixes a LONG standing bug in the Ethernet drivers, whereby
under very heavy loads, the Ethernet driver shut down, requiring a reboot.

        2) 8.6 brings a lot more plumbing out of the 68k emulator, and what
is happening is that the nanokernel is doing a more proper job of task
scheduling, making it harder for one task to dominate. It's still more
cooperative than not, but better than it was. (and as we all know, NT's
scheduler is nothing to write home about...:)
