  I recently finished writing an article on DesqView 386 Vs Windows 3.0 to 
be released in the upcoming issue of Information Age.

  To put it is simple summary.  I find DesqView better if :

1. You are running DOS programs most of the time
2. You are using a laptop.      
3. You do not have a lot of RAM but wants to multitask DOS programs
4. You like the Manifest program from QuarterDeck
5. You don't have a high resolution graphics card
6. You do cut-and-paste between DOS programs a lot.


  You use Windows 3.0 

1. You have more than 2 Megabytes of RAM
2. You like the Windows version of Solitaire
3. You are an EGA card and above 
4. You want to run Windows Specific programs such as Excel or Word for Win.
5. You like the Graphics User Interface using a pointing device (Mouse/Tball)
