A bit negative, are we Terje? I find Windows 95 to run my old apps
without any problems and I'm quite happy with it. When, I wonder, will
people grow up and accept a window-based OS and stop complaining if
some old apps don't work.

I remember moving from Workbench 1.2 to 1.3 on Amiga. Lots of apps
didn't work - people bought new. From 1.3 to 2.0, major change but
people moved because 2.0 was so much better. 

Remember, change is the only constant factor in computing and right
now Windows 95 is the best answer for your OS queries.
