I can vouch for Win '95 as far as the newer, high end games go. Since you can choose to restart your computer in MS-DOS mode, I've had no problem with any of the games I've tried to run. Oddly enough, the only programs I've had trouble running are MS-Windows games. Sorta strange... One nice feature in Win '95 is that you can assign different start-up files for each different program. Kinda like using a boot disk. - Drake Tungsten
