I agree.  I've been looking to upgrade my computer system for the last 6 months
and havn't seen any of the PC clones ship without Windows95.  They have also
developed WinG to make graphics programming easier as well as not having to
worry if the driver you wrote for a device is compatable.  All I'm saying is 
like it or not in a couple of years Windows95 will be 90% of the gamming market.
We can spend all day talking about the benifits of 8-Track tapes and Beta video
casettes but that's not where the market is.
