I hear that 3ds will be going to NT. Does that mean there won 't be a 95 version? I'm assuming that an NT version wouldn't run on 95, until I hear otherwise. I was hoping I wouldn't have to upgrade my PC's more than required for 95…

Nope, no Windows 95 version. Windows NT only. Blame Microsoft, not Autodesk. Unless you can tell the rest of us WHY Microsoft needs to sell TWO 32-bit, pre-emptive multitasking, windows-based OS…. Eric Peterson Sisyphus Software

<<Unless you can tell the rest of us WHY Microsoft needs to sell TWO 32-bit, pre-emptive multitasking, windows-based OS.>> Simple, most people have a 486 with about 4-8M of RAM and were happy with Win3.11. Would they be pleased if Microsoft said they had to bye another 8-16 M of RAM and possibly faster processors? I don't think so. Win95 is just a step; a gradual one to the final goal of WinNT.
