Also a good one about the same time in InfoWorld, though written from
an end-users point of view.  They also covered the minor players, such
as OmniView.

Followups I'd like to see:  how good is DesqView's claim to support
Windows programs?  And I note that both DesqView and Windows ads are
giving a little more play to their support of 286 machines; is this
for real?  Or is it hype and I should wait until I can afford that 386
upgrade?
