Most Windows 3.1 and some DOS applications can run under Windows 95, not all.
Even Microsoft admits this.  Microsoft also admits upgrading to 32 bit native
versions will be required to obtain any significant improvement in application
performance.  I do think Mr. Summers is overstating his case; a Mac Classic
would probably have a hard time running the current version of Photoshop, for
example.  On the other hand, I think it is fair to say Apple does not obsolete
its hardware at nearly the same rate Microsoft obsoletes x86 hardware.  I
entirely agree with your comments regarding preemptive multitasking.  Its
superiority over the alternatives is a demonstratable fact.
