I think Micro$oft will probably phase out '95. Micro$oft solution providers
will recommend NT for business's just about across the board. '95 is really
geared for the home computer. NT is M$'s flagship of the future.
Mac System was ahead of it's time, but now it's lacking compared with something
like NT. Soon, NT will not support any network protocols but for TCP/IP. What
does this mean to you and I? Welcome to the world of UNIX (eek)! This is great
if you ask me. Unix without a million different shells, but DOS commands!
UNIX without having to have a PH.D.! And soon, UNIX _Power_!
True, a RISC processor is going to have ramifications in drive space / memory
requirements, but the performance is well worth it.
And trust me, the _greatest_ thing about 3DS going NT is this.
They can recompile it for optimization for future CPU's easily.
Imagine if they compiled NT to run on, say… SGI's! Yost would only have to
change some of C++'s API Calling conventions, and wammo!!
