I'd probably prefer &ms.win.95; that expands to something like:

	Microsoft Windows&nbsp;95

and similar entities that ensure that when our documents are typeset
and beautifuly printed on paper, there is absolutely *no* chance of
something like this appearing on paper (depending on existing margins
and paper size, of course):

	... Microsoft Windows
	95 ...

The &ms.*; entities could also include stuff like:

	&ms.dos.6;
	&ms.office.97;

But I'm very skeptical about introducing entities for stuff like this.
The main intention would be to make it easier to type consistently
something that looks prettier than "foo&nbsp;bar" and is not as hard
to remember.  Does this sound crazy to anyone?
