Essentially, Windows 95 is an operating system with something that looks like our old Dos... but it isn't our old DOS. By the way, I have been using Win 95 for a few months now, and have been able to run everything just fine. I am using (now get this) 486SX25, with 8MB Ram, sigh... it runs just as fast as windows runs, but the graphic routines are much much faster. I play Herritic in a Win 95 Dos window, with no slowdown, or problems at all. Everything is so easy to configure, I can't help but to love it. A big improvement for game fans. I haven't used OS/2, so I cant make a comparison though.
