Given that it looks like WindowsNT will be the natural successor to
Windows 3.11 in the business world, I think you can rest assured
that I'll be waiting for, if not the new version of WindowsNT,
then the NT/95 successor before I upgrade me or my customers.

Okay, Okay, just to show that I'm not all bad, I will admit that there
is one little teeny weeny thing that would tempt me, namely MS Access95
has a few very neat new features, unfortunately there are just too many
problems with W95 on networks, not to mention the cost, that restrict
me from moving until the whole thing is stable and compatible enough
to allow me to upgrade several 25+ user networks as well as me, and
I can't see that happening until at least the NT/95 successor arrives.

In the meantime, you guys enjoy Win95, I'll just keep developing with
Access under 3.11, and at least all my networks will continue to work.
