Write your reply.

assistant: The answer is that Hugh's virus didn't make him independent, invalidating
the rest of the question.
   The virus which he was supposed to carry back to the Collective (but
didn't, because the Enterprise crew refused to infect him) would have killed
every Borg that it reached.
   Hugh was made independent by being isolated from the Collective and shown
how to be an individual.
   The only way he could make another Borg independent was by the same
laborious process of separating it from the Collective and explaining the
concept slowly and clearly.
   That's why he'd only liberated a small group by the time of "Descent".

It's no longer made!!!
Your not being mislead, but if a setup is no longer available they are not
going to advertise it.
Besides, ANYTHING!!! that is Win 95 compatible has to be just that, they want
to sell Win 95, and after this year Win 98, and so forth...
