Windows _can_ be great as a user interface, but where the predominant 
requirements are character-mode data representation and fast reaction 
times give me a DOS system any day.

In fact, to be really reactionary, the combination of character-mode 
programs with Desqview still takes some beating. One of the machines near 
my desk is a 6 MHz AT (yes, I mean what I say!) running Desqview with an 
AST card and for some jobs it is as responsive as a DX66 running OS/2 or 
Windows.
