>>>I understand all the capabilities of NT, but my point is why limit the market share that R5 would have if would be easy to make it backwards compatible with Win 95 as Microsoft has done with their NT products.<<< I think MicroSoft would like to have everyone go to NT so they can dump all that dos/16bit crap. The major stumbling point is that NT requires 8MB more memory than Win95. Everyone knows that memory prices have not dropped as fast as other components. I'm beginning to think the market is artificially inflated. It must have something to do with that Micron lawsuit from a few years back. American companies were so protectant over RAM and LCD displays, but they have gotten off their butts to create anything. I think they wanted protection so they could sell at high prices to the gov/military, and we all know that costs are being cut in the gov. so the defense industry is having problems.
