Hi Alberto, I just want to point out that just because Windows 95
is out, it is not the end of the world for NT. In fact, if you have
been keeping up with the developments and looking at the trend in
the computing market, you would already know that the whole world
is switching over to the 32 bit world, if not already the 64 bit.
Windows 95 still has 16 bit code, which means that it still lacks
some of the features of a true 32 bit OS. Windows 95 is the one
that will become obsolete in the near future. This is why
Microsoft developed NT to be a porable OS, being able to be
compiled on multiple platforms such as the Alpha AXP's, the PPC,
and the i386. They know that this is the future of computing to come.
Just my $0.02.
