Accually, it was Intel themselves that released this statement.

	Accually, the reason that Intel said that was becuase '95 contains a large 
amount of 16-bit code itself (i.e. the core components). The P6 is being designed to 
optimize 32-bit code only. And According to Intel, Warp and NT (or any other 32-bit
OS like Linux) do not suffer from the problems that 95 will.
