I don't think so. Once the Win95 shell is released for Windows NT (a beta
version is available now, free for the asking), Win95 will be history. I
expect the two systems to merge into one (which will more closely resemble
95 on the surface and more closely resemble NT underneath, and whose name
is anybody's guess) by late 1997.
