Which is why Win'95 is merely a transitional OS.  No doubt MS will port 
all the features to NT and eventually dump Win'95 and the 16-bit handicap 
once and for all.  By that time people won't be screaming about having to 
have 16 megs of ram and the P6(7,8...) will be able to operate at full speed.

Apple has the perfect opportunity to be up and running native RISC 
Copland/Gershwin by then.  Hopefully before then.

Unless they decide to expend their resources on Pippin and Newton instead  :>
