I beg to differ! I also was a VFP Beta boy! But I ran it under Win/NT 3.5x. What a difference! I kept crashing it & it was like 'so what?'. I am sure you would of had to reboot 95 a few times. NT is pretty darned solid & very rarely will you ever have to reboot the machine -- just close a session instead.
I received some email recently saying I was supposed to get NT 4 Work & Server Beta. I hope that was not a cruel joke!
