How could it already be the leader in operating systems? Also the MAJORORITY of games are not coming out for Win95. Here are some fact's as I see them. 1) A lot of games ARE coming out for Win95 AND DOS! Not just Win95. Also more games are coming out for straight DOS then they are coming out for Win95 only. 2) DOS will be around for quite a while, if for no other reason than Win95 is STILL NOT 100% compatible/bug-free with EXISTING systems... b) I say EXISTING systems because I know a LOT of you are going to argue that Win 95 is coming pre-installed on most new machines. But since most computer companies have trade deals with Microsoft they take what they can get. 3) Now I'll grant you that Win95 MAY replace DOS EVENTUALLY. But nothing is for sure yet. I myself haven't tried WIn 95 yet, but I am in the process of cleaning my hard drive and backing it up to prepare it for Win 95. I am going to give it the benifit of the doubt, even tho people I personnally know have had various problems with it. I also know people who have had NO problems with it. Well that's my 3 cents...
