I totally agree with you on OS/2 is the most stable.

I agree with you that win95 will have bugs, as you said that's because
it's v1.0. I have not yet encountered a bug or crashed with win95. I
know by now I would have crashed at least twice since I've gotten
win95 if I were still using 3.11.

Then why upgrade to OS/2? I upgraded to win95 for 32bitness that can
actually run dos and windows 3.x programs at the speed I am used to or
even faster. 

I remember when I upgraded to OS/2. The load time for dos and windows
programs was slower then the native time. I mean a lot slower. Then I
thought to myself, why am I useing OS/2 when I can run all the
programs I am running now,  faster? Still, I used it for another month
before switching back. Now it's a waste of $70 gathering dust.
