I find both Windows and Desqview to be annoying, but I find Windows
less annoying.  The thing I really dont like about Desqview is that,
on a high resolution monitor, it wont support text resolutions like
132x50 or 132x40.  Windows (on a 386) on the other hand, will allow me
to have several "DOS" windows open at once.

Perhaps  I'm just spoiled, I'v got a NeXT at the office!
