I've seen now three different versions of MS Windows
   - a 386 version, seems to have real multitasking and is
     ruuning in protected mode
   - the 2.x versions, which I suppose are to run on all
     XT/AT ...
   - a 286 version.

Who can answer the following questions to me?

   Does the 286 version run in protected mode of the 80286?
   Does it support multitasking?
   Will all MS Windows Applications run on this special version?

Thanks for your answers,

Helmut Roderus
