- Actually, NT will run DOS and 16-bit Windows apps as well as its own native software.
- It will also multi-task its win16 session *UNLIKE* Win95. Its memory protection
- is also far superiour to Win95 (every wonder why its mem reqs are so high?)
-
- How come Win95 can't multitask Win16 apps when NT and OS/2 can? Which OS' did you
- say was inferiour?

- to put them out of business.
-
- Who are "the OS/2 progammers" you are referring to?
