I think you have hit the nail on the head ... win3 (sometimes referred to as 
win/16) is a 16 bit implementation, leading one to conclude that it has the
same overall limitations as a 286 (16MB of memory).  When (if?) win/32 makes
it out, then it would appear logical (to me) that it would be able to support
considerably more memory.
