A truly scaly lie that would be. :)  As a matter of fact, it's the
backward compatibility (with 16-bit Windows apps) that's generating
some of the stick points that people love to harp on with Win95.

The way I see it, you can't have it both ways.  If you want
backward-compatibility, then don't complain about the results of such
compatibility, ya know? :)

Fear not.. with VERY few exceptions, your Win3.1 apps will work fine
with Win95 (some work better, and with far fewer faults).
