I don't know what the fuck any of you freaks are talking about.  NT is the
future.  It is a fully secure 32bit operatiing system with advanced features
and security that goes way beyond windows 95.  95 is a stepping stone to NT.
95 is compatible with all your old 16bit stuff, but it also runs 32bit NT
programs.  Did you know that in order to get the windows 95 seal on your
product that it must also work on NT?  Ever wonder why????
