I'm interested in seeing the response to this as well.
From what I understand, the very large part of 32-bit Made-for-Win95
apps almost all work just fine under Win NT. The exceptions I note are
certain thngs like Norton Utils (no under NT, but they now have a version
for NT out), which are the kind of thing that mess around at disk-level,
etc. But run of the mill software--I'm pretty sure it should work fine
under NT if it was designed to run under 95 (many times, the vendor designs
the software specifically to run on both--for instance, if you install
internet tools like Eudora or Netscape Navigator, the 95/NT install is one
and the same, while there's a different set of stuff installed if you're
running Win 3.x).
