Perhaps.  ;-)  But NT is currently only a fraction of the desktop
market, and there are a number of other 32-bit solutions that some
folks can run.  Just not Windows 95, at least optimally.

Example: I'll be running OS/2 Warp and Linux on my PPro 200 system,
which are both very much 32-bit when running newer native apps.
