It's a matter of taste, I guess.  Desqview is unobtrusive, whereas
Windows (GUIs in general) is not.

I'm reading this in 132x40 right now -- under Desqview.  You're quite
mistaken.

So will Desqview -- on a 386, 286 or even 88/86.  Furthermore, it runs
DOS operations concurrently with less chance of crashing and in my
experience, runs them faster.

Feel free to enjoy Windows.  Like Jesus, it gives me the hives.
