Can somebody who knows the Windows side of life clarify this picture for me
a little? The following are statements that I believe to be true, but I
would like someone to confirm that I'm right or else correct me where I'm
not.

1. After Windows 3.1 came Windows 95 and Windows NT, and then very
recently, Windows 98.

2. The current version of Microsoft Office for Windows is properly called
"Microsoft Office 97" or (for short) "Office 97."

3. Office 97 was released in very early 1997 or late 1996 and was designed
specifically to run under Windows 95.

4. The previous version of Microsoft Office for Windows was properly called
"Microsoft Office for Windows 95" -- NOT "Microsoft Office 95."

5. The principal applications in Office for Windows 95 (Excel, Word,
Powerpoint) were version 7. The principal applications in Office 97 are
version 8.

I would also like to know if anybody is still using Office for Windows 95.
I can find almost no references to it on Microsoft's web site and as far as
I can tell, PC Connection isn't selling it....

Thanks in advance.
