	Hi Alberto, I just want to point out that just because Windows 95
	is out, it is not the end of the world for NT. In fact, if you have 
	been keeping up with the developments and looking at the trend in
	the computing market, you would already know that the whole world
	is switching over to the 32 bit world, if not already the 64 bit. 
	Windows 95 still has 16 bit code, which means that it still lacks 
	some of the features of a true 32 bit OS. Windows 95 is the one
	that will become obsolete in the near future. This is why 
	Microsoft developed NT to be a porable OS, being able to be
	compiled on multiple platforms such as the Alpha AXP's, the PPC,
	and the i386. They know that this is the future of computing to come.
	Just my $0.02.
