I will second that.  I run DESQview/386 on a 386SX with MS-DOS 5.0.  I
can download in my comm. program (and watch the byte count increase in
a little window) while doing something else in another window.  I can
run half a dozen programs in different windows, most of them only
waiting, but at least the comm. program and one other is active.

Windows is good for applications that run only in Windows.  And for
that, Windows 3.1 is way ahead of Windows 3.0.
