- Win95 kernal is newer and buggier.
- NT kernal aspires to be as good as UNIX and doesn't completely fall on its
- face. NT has the 32bit NT file system option(maybe HPFS also). I don't know
- what file system Win95 has other than FAT. I've programmed a little with
- Borland C++ 4.5 on NT and it seems like NT is solid(never crashes). NT sort of
- multitasks. It would probably do it better if I bothered to set some parameters
- but I live fine with the defaults. I don't know if Win95 multitasks or not in
- the real world. Win95 seems to have more available device drivers but the
- situation with NT is pretty good.
