I haven't had a chance to sample Windows 3.0 nor do I claim to know about the
advantages of DOS 5.0 over the older versions, but from my experience with
Windows/DOS v. Mac Interface/MacOS is that because the MacOS was designed with 
the Mac Interface in mind, while Windows is an obvious after thought of DOS,
there is an obvious 'natural feeling' difference.  The Mac interface feels 
like it is doing what it should be doing while Windows is doing what it is 
capable of doing, having been hacked on top of an unfriendly command-line
interface.

JMHO.

NOTE:  This may not be as true with the latest and greatest versions of 
	Windows, but I would be surprised if the difference were *that*
	great.
