I must Disagree. I've had Win95 since the day it came out and think it 
is a brilliant strategic move on the part of Mr. Bill Gates. (please, 
don't kill me yet...) While I do agree that it is not an excellent OS 
in it's own right, the whole purpose of Win95 is to get more 32-bit 
WINDOWS NT-COMPATIBLE software and hardware out there so that users can 
eventually move over to NT with a new '96(or 97??) GUI.
