We bought a copy of Windows 3.0 (for another machine) and tried it on the 386's. We didn't like it very well. It was pretty but it seemed much harder to set up and use then Deskview. It could be that it just has a longer, steeper learning curve but in any event it exhausted my patience and I kind of gave up on it. In particular we had problems running in background and switching between graphics windows (or for that matter doing anything with graphics windows). Windows does have a much more powerful graphical user interface (icons etc) and in general I think it has a lot of promise but I think I will wait to see the next version. -- -Scott Finfrock-
