If you want to simply switch between or multitask DOS applications, then you 
should use Software Carousel or Desqview.  However, if you want to be able 
to run programs that break all of DOS' restrictions and work in an updated 
and powerful environment then you should buy Windows. You are treating 
Windows as a DOS shell, which it is not because it provides many features 
that DOS does not have. So I think that you have missed the entire point of 
Windows. If you really want to evaluate Windows, then go out and buy Windows 
equivelants of all your DOS programs instead of just using Windows to run 
DOS programs. You are crippling Windows.

We use 286 machines with 2 megs of RAM and run all-Windows programs and have 
none of the problems you mentioned.
