You will have your choice. One version of K95 will run a Console window
like now, so you can take it fullscreen VGA. The other version will run
in a GUI window. There are obviously going to be tradeoffs. The
Console environment is bug-ridden and severely restricted in what it is
allowed to to, as you can see by glancing through the K95 bug list:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95bugs.html
which is really more of a Microsoft bug list.
