Probably more stable, too (the Spectrums) - yes, even with a wobbly RAM pack! There is a TCP/IP stack around for them that is workable I believe. Win95/98's networking is unbelievably flaky, even with stable device drivers and all the patches. They gave up for Win2k and nicked it from another O/S (allegedly... or was it proven in court?)
They used the TCP/IP stack from BSD, which is perfectly acceptable and within the terms of the BSD licence. However it does render their argument about open source software being a danger to intellectual property somewhat less convincing (not that it was ever very convincing).
