A Desqview/X under, say, $200 could conceivibly beat even Microsoft Windows 3.0 as the OS of choice for PC's. However, every day means more copies of Windows are out there (and, fortunately, most of them stay in the box) -- Wouldn't it be great to have a GOOD multitasking system for MS-DOS that's highly source-code compatible with Unix X-Windows programs? Of course - and it could make Quarterdeck the leader in the PC/OS market. But, Nah, they've all got DP/MIS mentality. Big companies will pay anything to link PC's seamlessly into a network.
