I have a simple suggestion for Microsoft for the next version of Windows:

Whwn you run a DOS program in a window in 386 enhanced mode, the window
comes up as a 25x80 text window. If you program switches to say a 50x80
text window, or a CGA graphics window, you have to make it bigger manually.
If the program goes back to 25x80 text, it shrinks back down. Then if it
goes back to 50x80 you have to manually make it bigger. It would be nice if it
followed automatically, or if at least it didn't shrink back down.
