So toss Win95 into the recycling bin and get a real server OS, be it WinNT
[Workstation or Server] or FreeBSD or even Linux. BTW, FWIW, WinNT 3.51
can run most "Designed for Windows 95" apps, and you can even FTP a
prerelease Win95-like shell from ftp.microsoft.com.
Actually, it's a contractual requirement for software companies that
if they're going to be allowed to put the Windows 95 logo on a package
(which has it's own validation suite), it must also pass the Win NT
test suite.
If it doesn't run on NT, as well as Windows 95, they don't get to use
the Windows 95 logo.
