There probably won't be native support in the OS, but note, you can run
multiple DOS and Windows sessions on your NeXT now, just by SoftPC. I 
assume Insignia will have a version of SoftPC for NS 486 for sale on about
the same day NeXT releases it. Also, it should be _a_lot_ faster under
NS 486, due to the way a 486 allows you to set up a virtual PC. This makes
emulation very simple and fast, though I suppose graphics will still be a
small problem.
