Eh...? I was just reading through here (I rarely come to these groups, 
but I was posting my for sale message and blah blah blah...) and I'm 
wondering now, what the HELL is Cairo? What does it have to do with 
Win95? And in terms of how fast Win95 will run, be it on a P5 or a P6, 
how can anyone but Microsoft be QUITE sure how fast it will be if it 
isn't even released yet? And what's the deal with the Windows NT 
compatibility with Win95? I thought Windows NT was for a LAN or a 
server...? It seems like a better version of Win3.1, from what I'm 
hearing though.  Anyone who can help me out, thanks in advance!
