- There is a very popular book by a man named Shulman, that states that
- Windows 95 NEEDS to be running on top of DOS in order to maintain
- compatibility with older applications.
-
- Windows 95 is a hybrid 16/32 bit operating system, in order to maintain
- Windows 3.1 compatibility. It does have LOTS of great new features, is
- much slicker and easier to use. It's also much more stable (when you use
- 32-bit applications).
-
- However, if Windows 95 were fully 32-bit, it would be Windows NT 4.0...
