The only major change that I heard of being made to Windows was the fact that
before programs had a tendency to not run even though there was enough room.
What was happening was that the MS-DOS exec was not recognizing the extra
64K that one gets from himem.sys and so it was failing to run programs that
it should have been able to.  I'd heard that there were some other minor
changes, but I didn't get any specifics on those.
