Actually, one can easily support this claim.  In both cases, you still have
the same level of memory protection as before.  Correct me if I'm wrong (and
I know you will :-)), but MSDOS doesn't work in the 80286 protected mode, does
it?  Since this is this case, upgrading to a 286 does not give any more
protection when using the standard OS.  Sure, you have memory protection for
UNIX and its clones, but if that's what you're talking about, then you're
comparing apples and oranges (which is quickly becoming a very popular term
in this discussion).

According to the BYTE article, it is due in the first quarter of next year.
