It's already here in Memphis December Release.

It is.

I haven't tried Memphis yet, I'm in no hurry to mess with pre-beta
software, but I did install OEM SR2/FAT32 a few weeks ago.
It definitely boots faster than "original" Win95 and seems to crash
less, so it appears they've done some tightening up of the code.
FAT32 is great. I now have my 2.1 gig hard drive all one partition -
rather than 3 partitions (in order to avoid 32k clusters).
