   Then again, I'd be happy with a real multitasking windowed environment that
   would allow me to run DOS apps - so long as I can still boot Unix from another
   partition (or, do I dare dream, run Unix in yet another window).

   So, whats your idea of a perfect combination of parts from Unix, DOS, OS/2, ...?

You can run DOS under Unix.  I've seen it for the NeXT, and I know
that Sun has a version of SoftPC available too.  If HP has a version
for their Snake machine, you could probably emulate a 486 DOS machine
in software.  The NeXT version is suppose to be as fast as a 10MHz
286.  I think the company claims that by the end of the year, it will
be as fast as a 25MHz 386 and it will support VGA.
