-> Even if, if WIndows 95 is better then Warp, which I doubt, by Windows -> 95 begin 1 1 1/2 years late OS/2 is going to take over. If Windows 95 -> was out on timew is would of killed OS/2 by default, but since it was -> late is has given OS/2 a chance to get OS/2 out. Game manucatures -> some are putting out OS/2 versions or seeing that there products run -> under warp. As for games for WIndows 95 , Ultima 9 is to be in -> Windows 95, Ultima 9 is due out on Christmas 96, perhaps Wing -> Commanger 5 will be Windows 95 only. These games are distant future -> releases. Also there is a planed upgrade for Warp, likely released -> after the release of Windows 95. So Windows 95 has to compeate with -> both the current and future releases of Warp. It will be intreting. I've seen both Windows 95 Beta and Warp in action. And IMHO no gamer in his right mind will do anything with Win 95 disks except BURN THEM. Any game using Dos4gw will not, to my knowlege, work under win 95, this means most of the newer, high-end games. This is a crippling blow. Also, while Warp will allow you set your machine to run in DOS mode (not just under a window, but act just like a dos Systerm) To my knowlege, Win 95 doesn't allow this. Also, dealing with/removing Windows 95 caused me to nickname my dads' computer Mr. Gone (Maxx fans unite), Warp has never caused me to do this.
