I also run Warp (as well as Linux) and WIndows95, and if I had to choose
only one OS to run, ti would be Windows95, without question.
The underpinnings of Warp may be true 32 bit , but I have had Warp crash,
such that a re-boot was the only recovery. Granted, Warp with the archived
desktops make recovering, even from major screwups,  a minor inconvience.
If one messes up a registry entry in Windows95, one may need to do major 
surgery. However, one should not be messing with the regeditor unless you
know what it is all about.
AOL Windows application, slick as it is, has a bug. It will lockup Warp 
tight as a drum, and even though the cpu is still functioning (the digital
clocks still ticks away), cntrl-esc, alt-esc, and about everything I could
think of did not get out of AOL.
It has locked up Windows95 once. A cntrl-alt-del immediately brought up the
task list, I close AOL and was back in business. I have talked to others, 
who run both OS's and have had identical experiences.
Which system is more robust ?? 
As I said , if I had to choose one and only one OS, it would be Windows95.
