This is an easy one.  Desqview and Windows both do multi-tasking, and
both cost about the same.  The big difference is that Desqview will 
essentially run ANY DOS PROGRAM that you are currently using.  To run
a program under Windows, you need to have a $pecial Windows version.
Also, Windows needs a more in the way of system resources in order to
be able to run.

The only people I have seen that prefer Windows are Software Developers
who are writing programs that will run under Windows.
