As of March 26th, there were still some known bugs that they were tracking
down.  However, I suspect that Win3 will have fewer bugs than the earlier
versions.  If Win3 runs in protected mode, there's a strong chance that they
caught some of the more pernicious bugs that were unknown until now.  I
wonder how many GP faults they ran into...
