They are providing products for different categories. And I don't think they'll make 16-bit apps in 95 pre-emptive. By the time they could re-write 95 to do that, there will likely be a number of 32-bit applications out. Re-writing that would basically give you NT. Slower single-task 16-bit performance, and hindered compatibility. Win 96 is here- it's called NT, and it will be ready when your needs meet it's hardware requirements.
