Well, let me put it this way. Windows 95 choose Compatibility as #1 goal why
fighting for maximum stability with that goal in mind. Windows 3.1/DOS is
not important to you. Good, go and buy Alpha and runs NT. Or go back to your
little world. For others, the thousands of applications are important. So
Windows 95 is for them.
