Insignia Solutions' SoftWindows Runs Windows Apps Up to 50% Faster on
Apple's New Power Macs

Windows Compatibility Available Now

SANTA CLARA, CA, MAY 1, 1996 -- Insignia Solutions (Nasdaq: INSGY) today
announced that SoftWindows 3.0 and SoftWindows 95, the industry's only
comprehensive cross-platform compatibility solutions, will run up to 50%
faster on Apple's new Power Macintosh computers. SoftWindows enables Power
Mac customers to run Windows and Windows 95 applications on their
computers.

According to Apple, the new Power Macs announced last week will run 25%
(9500/150, 8500/150, 8500/132) and 50% (7600/120, 7200/120) faster than
previous models. SoftWindows is a scaleable solution, so customers will
get faster performance directly comparable to the speeds of the faster
computers. SoftWindows 3.0, combined with Apple's new computers, can
perform at speeds up to twice the performance of what SoftWindows 2.0
customers experienced on older Macintosh computers.

SoftWindows 3.0, which is 35% faster than SoftWindows 2.0, lets Power Mac
owners run Windows 3.x applications and offers them the ability to upgrade
to Windows 95 when they are ready. SoftWindows 3.0 includes Microsoft
Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS. SoftWindows 95 features TurboStart, breakthrough
technology that allows the user to start Windows 95 in a matter of
seconds, compared to the several minutes it takes on a hardware PC.
SoftWindows 95 includes Windows 95. Both products offer other new features
including support for Mac and PC SCSI devices and enhanced printer,
networking and sound functionality, as well as improved performance.

Apple also announced PC Compatibility Cards. "We support Apple's continuing
commitment to cross-platform compatibility, and look forward to seeing
their new PC cards when they ship this summer," said Dr. Robert P. Lee,
Insignia Solutions' president and CEO. "Power Macintosh customers today
can have complete Windows compatibility with SoftWindows 95 and
SoftWindows 3.0, and can expect ever-increasing performance."

SOFTWARE ADVANTAGE - COMPLETE OS INTEGRATION

Unlike hardware solutions, Insignia's SoftWindows products are highly
affordable and fully integrated with the Mac OS, providing support for
AppleScript to automate tasks in Windows; and integration with Apple Guide
to help familiarize users with Windows 95, Windows and DOS. The
SoftWindows product line is the only cross-platform compatibility solution
that provides this tight integration between the PC and Macintosh
environments.

SoftWindows 95 and SoftWindows 3.0 are available for immediate delivery
directly from Insignia Solutions, and through major distributors and
resellers. The expected U.S. street price for SoftWindows 95 is $349 to
