Personally I could live without Microsoft products.  They don't seem to
understand user interfaces (try using their C compiler after using Turbo
C for example).  For a decent mult-tasking GUI I'd be looking to
Quarterdeck's recently announced Desqview/X, which preserves MS-DOS
compatibility, has true multi-tasking (which, I understand, Windows does
not) and provides X-Windows support.  Byte named it as one of their
products of 1990 despite its target release date of 1Q91.
