Err... what does that have to do with Cairo?  If you're trying to claim
the Win95 interface is object based you should check again before making
a fool of yourself.  Cairo is most certainly AT LEAST 1.5-2 years from
shipping.  Win95 3.5x (not 3.1) with a 95 interface is due in '96, not
in October.  Cairo is NOT in beta testing, in fact a lot of Cairo developers
were pulled from Cairo earlier this year to try to force Win95 out the
door in '95.  Are you having a bad fact day?
