Well lets see what you have forgotten... Windows NT, how convienient.  The OS 
that was designed to be portable and currently runs on x86, PPC, Mips, Alpha. 
Hum, even Win 3.1 can run on Sparc.  I will agree with OS/2 heck IBM finally 
gave up on its PPC port cause NT was killing them there, oh well. 

After all Win 95 is just a hack to get people into the 32 bit world.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving
to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots.  So far, the Universe is
winning.
