You think?  I *know* because I have seen the difference.

It doesn't stop you loading lots of windows 3.1 programs in Win95 and 
using them at the same time just like Windows 3.1 does - Whilst also
running Dos programs etc so what's the problem.  

Anyway when this finally comes out of BETA then there will be plenty 
of updated programs out there designed for Win95.

Well I think you may have hit on a certain combination of programs
on *your* machine not working happily together.  This is not necessarily 
the same experience on other people's machines who may be running 
different apps and/or a newer Beta of Win95.  I don't run Autocad
but everything I have tried so far has worked fine including 
up/downloading in the backgound whilst playing doom 2, running various
utilities together (mutlitasking ) etc.  I bought OS2 Warp CD a while 
ago and liked it but having seen both running I prefer Win95 
(and it's still beta).  Each to his own.

Good for you I am glad you're happy.  So am I.
