-> You have good points, but it sounds like you are not to informed

-> comes to speed over Win31 and Win95 and its also smaller.

Actually, Win95 *is* a true multitasking OS.  3.x was not, but Win95s
new kernels were completely re-designed so that users would not have
"funny" results whenever they tried to run too many applications at
once.
