My earlier apps were intend to use under win 3.1x. In Hungary among my "clients"
widely used approach, that workstation machines boot up from server, (Nt and Novell both support this solution - only requires network cards with boot rom) thus local winchester is unnecessary, so machines are cheaper.
As I know, theoretically win95 can boot up from server, too, without local drive. But I have not experience in win95 "world", that it is used solution or not. Personally I never have seen any PC running Win95 without local harddrive, but "more eyes can see more case" (hungarian idiom)
