I am not an expert on Windows[, NT, 95, 96, etc] but InfoWorld just reported that Win32s was a bust. Even Microsoft reported that they *may* have over sold developers on Win32s. Using Win32s sacrifices a *lot* of speed.
The article suggests that application developers will ignore Win32s and develop for one or more of the flavors of Windows (with Win95 taking the biggest slice of the pie).
This is from memory since I don't have the article handy.
