Who asked you to? Windows 95 is a multimedia home OS. It is not
supposed to be a serious development platform. It crashes, sometimes
often. Everybody knows it crashes.
(In case it isn't clear, you can develop Windows 95 apps on Windows
NT. You only need Windows 95 to test them.)
We were talking about server OS's. We were talking about Windows NT.
We were not discussing home gaming platforms. Windows 95 is not
Windows NT.
