Sorry, but I don't use Office.  You'll have to do better if your only example of
"Major software" is something written by Mircosoft.  :P

I hate to tell you, but you should look at Microsoft's timeline.  They have no 
intentions of supporting Win95 in another year or so.  It's their "intermediate"
operating system, till they can convince all the sheep that they need WinNT.

Yep, no support.  That's why I've had so much trouble with every piece of
hardware I've ever bought.  <sarcasm mode off>  I buy $1000s of dollars of
computer equipment every year, and have had *NO* trouble finding OS/2 drivers
for anything I've bought so far.

OS/2, we're already there.
