Okay.  I give up.  Why did Micro Soft (skull) call windows/286 what they
did when the beast doesn't use the protected mode of the 286 to provide
pre-emptive multitasking?  It runs just the same on a '86 machine?

This is truly annoying (hence the mind flame).  For my purposes 'cuz
the '386 laptops are too heavy and pricey.

They should change the name, it's misleading.

Peaved.

PS:  Isn't there a law against this?
