OK... So I was a little afraid of installing Windows 95 over my old
DOS 6.2/Windows 3.11 because I am a big gamer and thought that most
games (read Wing Commander III and other "heavy" games) would not
work...

Well think again... For a while I thought I *had* to run all my DOS programs
in a window and realized that eventhough most normal games would still
work (X-COM 2, Doom, etc...) other wouldn't (System Shock, Wing
Commander III, etc...). A little bummed out, I read the (great) help file and
finally realized that you can actually allocate all your computer
resources to your DOS programs... After a normal installation of the
game (any) in a DOS box, you can go to the Windows Explorer (Win95's
file manager), select the .exe program of the game, chose properties
and then chose to run it as a DOS program... Now, the "neat" feature
is that you can assign a different config.sys and autoexec.bat to
*each* program... That's great because you can finally easily optimize
each settings...

Of course, it took a little twitching for some games (WC3 was a little
hard for me), but once it's done, it works flawlessly... 

There ya go, my $0.02 gaming opinion of Windows 95...

Opinions/comments/questions welcome... :)

PS: OS/2 users will tell me that "OS/2 did that a long time ago", but
I tried it and didn't like it...
