I use Windows 95 about a year and I am quite satisfied by its behaviour. Windows 95 is a convenient and easy in use software product. In regard to NT Workstation I would notice that it has good multitasking mode (much better than 95). It seems to me that NT distributes processor's resources between all running tasks more properly than Win 95. But it's necessary to keep in mind that Windows NT demands more high hardware resources level for it. I would say that 16 megs ram is not enough for Win NT to work quite fast at the same time for Win95 it's quite acceptable. Andrei Shirobokov ags@cs.ibank.ru
