I may be mistaken because I haven't actually used either product
(just read many articles/reviews about each) but I would have to
say that Coherent Unix and Windows 3.0 are not compatible since
Coherent does not support DOS applications, and Windows 3.0 is
most definitely a DOS application (it runs on top of DOS providing
window and multitasking capabilities)

just my $0.02 worth...
