I recently received the demo version of Geoworks Ensemble.  After using it
a bit, I'd describe it as "Windows Jr."  The applications that come with
it are okay but, generally speaking, poorer than those supplied with 
Windows.  For example, Ensemble's "toy" word processor doesn't have 
search and replace (thus, by my definition, it isn't even a word
processor).

If Geoworks can get developers to write applications for Ensemble, it
could be a viable product for low-end hardware.  My criticism is in
no way intended to detract from what the folks at Geoworks have done. 
But I'll stick with Windows 3.0 on my 386 machines.
