I am seeking opinions on the following three configurations:
  - Windows 3.0
  - Deskview 2.3
  - Desqview AND Windows
The target environment will (probably) be 386SX w/ 2M RAM, VGA, mouse,
1.2M & 1.44M floppies, 40M HD, and internal modem.  In particular what
are the pros and cons with respect to:

1. Documentation
2. Ease of installation/administration
3. Ease of learning
4. Ease of use
5. Predicted stability (Are there major changes coming soon,
     e.g., Motif compatible Windows?)
5. Demands on resources
6. [other considerations]

Which version of MS/DOS is recommended for each configuration?
