PC LW will run in Windows NT and in Windows 3.x (and apparently, OS/2
Warp) using Win32s, so yes, for what it's worth, it'll be 32-bit.
What Windows 95 will be is still anybody's guess.

There are several ways to answer this:
* Amiga owners are spoiled rotten by fire sale prices.
* The non-Amiga price is still on the low end for quality 3D, and
buyers shopping for quality are suspicious of low prices.
* Making LightWave multi-platform takes extra work that Amiga owners
aren't being asked to pay for.
* The higher price attracts upscale resellers.
* The price isn't that much higher.
Take your pick.
