Just some information...

I've heard rumours that Chicago (or Windows95) is not a stand-alone
operating system.  I've heard that it works the same as previous
versions of Windows, just that it needs to run on top of Dos 7, and
that Dos 7 is actually the 32-bit operating system.

If this is true, why have Microsoft stated in press releases that
Chicago is a stand-alone operating system?

Just wondering,
Glen.
