The big difference is between NEC Japanese machines and all other
machines. NEC uses a non ISA architecture.

To run Windows 3.1 on an NEC machine you need NEC windows.
To run Windows 3.1/v on all other machines the machine needs to be
running DOS/V.

However, you can write a program for the Windows 3.1/V and have it run
on the NEC Windows.

Windows that runs on DOS J/V ?
