- Win95 is Windows which came out in v1.0 in 1985.
- OS/2 came out in very late 1987.
- Windows ois older.
-
- Win32 was an API I saw demonstrated in July 1992.
- OS/2 2.0 came out in spring 1992, NT 3.1 in late summer 1993.

- Win32 apps were possible and demoed in 1992 and I got one in 93. I had
- MatchCad 4.0, a win32s app. Win32 is old.
