See that's exactly my point. From a technical standpoint, Windows95 is 
piecemeal.  If they weren't interested in MS-DOS compatibility (like NT), they 
could have made it a better-running OS.  Critics often complain about how 
Microsoft didn't make any real improvements with Win95, but critics also, many 
times, fail to realize that if it weren't for their dedication to MS-DOS 
users, it WOULD have been better.
