The one you would have to use with the PCT is pretty limited, and perhaps the GS/OS desktop would be nicer. However, on a 386 with more than 2MB, Windows 3.0 is best used in "enhanced" mode, which beats the heck out of the GS/OS desktop. I spent much of my Christmas vacation playing with Windows 3.0 and have spent a LOT of time using the GS/OS desktop environment. Windows 3.0 (enhanced) is amazingly good, especially considering that it has to coordinate with MS/DOS.
