Easy. It's so simple it's unstable. It's a straight up tall order to boot up W95
on a new machine
, it took me days and I rate a guru.
But
. Did you ever see it go? It's designed for 100 MHz, minimum of 16 MHz.
"Official system requirements were an
Intel 80386
DX CPU of any speed, 4 MB of system RAM, and 120 MB of hard drive space".
Do you know how this runs on a 4 GHz? You can't see the menus pop. You click on Notepad and for a second there it seemed like it opened before you clicked it.
Oh, and, mine crashed 5 minutes in. It really is W95.
We could have W2K in theory, which is stable - but it starts to drag if under 128M RAM, which we don't really have. Also, needs some 300 MHz to run and that's a problem if emulated.
Besides, I like having ISA support. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside. ;)
