Almost no apps will be written specifically for Win95. Most of them
(except disk utils e.g.) will run under NT 3.51 without modification.
In fact, MS lists being able to run under NT as one of their Win95 logo
requirements...

This will not make IBM's life easier. If they decide to support Win32, then
various software developers will ask themselves: "Why make native OS/2 apps?"
If IBM decides *not* to support Win32, then the users will eventually ask
themselves: "Why not use Win95 or NT?"
