Fact: A large number of programs which ALWAYS ran just fine under
DOS and Windows 3.x do not run properly (or at all) under Win 95.
Only you and Bill Gates could have the gall to claim that the problems 
are the fault of poor application software design. (It couldn't possibly 
have anything to do with the brand new complex operating system.) 

Win 95 probably is pretty stable if your Daddy just bought you a system 
loaded with software designed specifically for it - but if you have 
thousands invested in DOS and Win 3.x software I'd avoid it until Bill
and the boys clean it up a bit!
