  Maybe, however in the August 1995 edition of PC World, the article
about Win95 states that the built-in clients are not necessarily error
prone, and may even cause a system failure.  A lot of drivers in Win95
were written to use Ring 0 of the processor (if I interpreted the article
correctly) which is often dangerous to do.

  Of course it would be.  It's preemptive multitasking at work!  Now,
just get multithreading right...

  Moving 100% to Win95 may not be a good idea just yet.  There are 2
patch releases coming out soon, and there is a rumoured Win96 coming out
in Dec./Jan. that will patch up the rest of the Win95 bugs.
