MS can never fully shake the ghost of DOS with Win'9X, so they're 
maneuvering users over to NT.  When NT has '95 features, and users are 
used to ponying up 16 megs of RAM, then the challenge will be real for 
Apple, if Copland isn't out.  All real Win'95 Apps have to run in NT and 
NT is starting gain steam as a pro 3D developers environment.  It could 
conceivably win over other graphics categories if Apple gets lazy.

: It's Apple's #1 priority to fix that.

: See, it's all software.

Agreed.
