- I have been wondering if Windows 95 simply installed over an existing DOS
- partition without the user backing up the whole hard drive and then
- reinstalling applications. I cannot imagine this happening with NT without
- the need to reformat the hard disk for NT file systems. I do not think that
- most Windows users would be willing to do this. Since I do not use
- Microsoft products, I can only speculate on what would happen if
- Microsoft pushed its customers to NT.
