Urm...I use NT as a workstation, not as a server. The problem I had under
95 was that I would frequently run out of resources if I had open all of
the apps that I require....this was with 128MB of ram on my machine!!!
Under NT, I never have any problems with running out of resources and can
have open any and all apps that I need at any given time to effectively do
what I need to do. NT is more than just a server os. OTOH, I would agree
that if 95 is working fine for someone, there isn't much reason to switch.
