Greg, there is an exception to this.  On some DOS-based games there are 
pretty stringent conventional memory requirements, and the Win95
versions
of the DOS memory-resident code are larger than their DOS 6.22
forerunners.  My wife and I both have software where the increase in
size
of the Win95 DOS code forces hardware drivers to load low instead of
into upper memory, reducing conventional memory below the minimum
required by the software.  There IS a need for DOS 6.22 under Win95 for
some people.  You personally may not need it, but I'm one of two people
and two computers that do, if I want to continue running my software. 
Moral of the story: be careful when you make absolute statements. 
Absolute statements are rarely correct.
