My only real experience with Windows besides what I have played around with, is in the way my parents use it. My dad uses is in his Law Office and uses Word 5.5 (Not the WFW) Excel, and Timeslips III (A billing Application) as his main applications. I don't believe that Timeslips has a windows version, but it can be run in a dos window, and so instead of running TimeSlips as a TSR, it is run in a seperate window. I don't see that Windows is doing him much good, even though it does look pretty good, and make a few things easier. He like it though, so I guess that is the bottom line.
