Well, yes, a MAJOR one. I don't know for 100% sure, but from everything I've
tried, tested and seen, DirectX applications (most games included) will NOT
run under WinNT. So there, again, it depends highly on what the system will
be used for.

If the major factor is more stability, you might as well get Win98, which is
MUCH more stable than Win95... of course, I still think it's a major rip-off
to pay for...
