"Well, yeah, the manual says that, but you can corner the MS people and they'll freely admit it's not so." I know it's not an OS, and yes, most MS people will say that it isn't an OS/ either. But why do they market it as such then? "Since NT disables DOS when running, it is, necessarily, an operating system." NT doesn't disable DOS, as it loads instead of DOS. "95, as a detuned NT, should share this characteristic, but we will have to see." There's no relation between NT and Win95. If I'd say anything about Win95 be tuned anything, I'd say it was a supertuned Win3.1. Win95 STILL has a DOS layer underneath. 🙁 Team OS/2 Bob Comer Cheyenne, WY USA
