The official statement on the Windows 3.0 presentation I heard in
Munich was, that there is no longer a runtime version of Windows
available for 3.0 and newer versions. All users are required to have
the full product. I think that's good. This allows them to use the
other tools included with Windows, like Program Manager, File Manager,
Write and Paintbrush or even Terminal, the others are toys. Also,
Windows 3.0 is really cheap to get. MS anounced here that any users of
2.x runtime versions can upgrade this to the FULL 3.0 product for the
same price as the upgrade from 2.x full product to 3.0 and I have
already done this once for a runtime which came with Excel 2.1.
