Well, Microsoft was showing Windows 3.0 at COMDEX (says friend of a
friend...).  Theredore, I assume that they must have even announced
it in a proper press release.  Has anybody seen the announcement, a 
preview, anything?  PC Magazine has had nothing so far, and I get
neither InfoWorld nor PC Week.  If anyone has any legit details [no,
I'm not asking anyone to break any non-disclosure agreements], please,
I would like to know!  Specifically, I would like to know whether
there are any improvements in:
	- performance (display and otherwise)
	- memory overhead requirements
	- use of extended/expanded memory
	- and, of course, any nifty new features...

Could someone please mail or post some details?  Or else tell me that it
really hasn't been announced yet?

Waiting with baited breath,

                                        \tom haapanen
