Win95 is a new desktop shell with 32bit support.  Anything that is made for it will
also work with Windows 3.1 with a 32bit patch that is available from almost all
ftp servers that support the windows enviroment.  The dos support is truley less support
then dos 6.x offers.  I cannot get many of my games to run under the 95 enviroment
even when I bypass the desktop shell and go through the long task of getting directly 
to the command prompt.  All Microsoft did was add 32bit support, some extra utilities
that windows 3.1 didn't ship with, and made the desktop a pain to navigate.
For a true OS you should consider OS/2 Warp!  This platform will run many dos and windows
programs and native os2 programs.  It will also let you customise Dos and Windows settings
to meet individual programs needs.  For example, On my system I have successfully ran:
	Doom/2
	Gunship 2000
	2 seperate windows sessions (WP 6.1 in one) and (Excel in the other)
	and 10 OS/2 specific applications (including Harddisk utils, and Internet programs)
	at the same time.
I have failed to see anyone match this with win95.  Also OS/2 has a command structure that
will allow you to boot up Specific Dos Sessions (like 4.1, 5.0, 6.X, 7.0) if a program requires
a specific dos.  And in the event that this tatic doesn't work.  OS/2 has the option to boot
up the system with your older DOS still 100% operational.
I fail to see the greatness of 95 when Warp goes far beyond.  But I guess for people who don't
take computing seriously 95 is as good as a MAC.  ---Pun intended---

If you would like to know more about OS/2 a true OS, and not just flame me, Please feel free to
