The >reviews have been horrible: Now wait a minute.. "sucks less than windows" is hardly translatable to "likes" :) However, I do run many apps at once, and have not run into the problem reported. A typical set of programs for me to have loaded and running (actively switching between them): netscape photoshop 3.0 truespace visual c++ plus several telnet windows, and a few dos windows and ftp sessions. I can load all these and run for hours without crashing (as long as I steer clear of the photoshop and truespace crash bugs :)) which I just couldn't do in win 3.1. I'm not quick to leap to windows' defense, it's not a very elegant solution, and better solutions exist, but since all the apps are written for it.. If you use win3.1 now, win95 is a compelling upgrade, if you use another OS, that means your OS has the apps you need, or you can live with the emulation, either way, I wouldn't recommend switching to windows because of win95.
