Even if, if WIndows 95 is better then Warp, which I doubt, by Windows
95 begin 1 1 1/2 years late OS/2 is going to take over. If Windows 95
was out on timew is would of killed OS/2 by default, but since it was
late is has given OS/2 a chance to get OS/2 out. Game manucatures
some are putting out OS/2 versions or seeing that there products run
under warp. As for games for WIndows 95 , Ultima 9 is to be in Windows
95, Ultima 9 is due out on Christmas 96, perhaps Wing Commanger 5 will
be Windows 95 only. These games are distant future releases. Also
there is a planed upgrade for Warp, likely released after the release
of Windows 95. So Windows 95 has to compeate with both the current and
future releases of Warp. It will be intreting.
