The two together are a bad mix. Just for fun I tried running FALCON AT under WIN3 with some very amusing (and unusable results). So far, I think windows is great for things like DTP and drawing programs like DESIGNER and little else. I'd be very surprised to see a decent flight game run under windows ( maybe a 486 with ultra fast video).
