OK.  I'll go over this again with a few addendum comments.  At the moment
I believe the most Microsoft has done is acknowledged that there is a new
version of Windows in the works that that its number will be 3.0.  As for other
aspects of this unannounced, unreleased product we CANNOT say anything about
it until Microsoft officially announces the thing.

My addendum comments are as such.  Keep an eye out for articles in the trade
press.  There was an article in InfoWorld recently that included screen shots
and a lot of information on Windows 3.0.  Microsoft has, I believe, an area
in their phone system that will provide info that they're willing to talk
about on the product.

Just as a side note, you might find questions 2 and parts of 1 answered to
some extent, but I'm pretty sure you'll just have to wait for answers to
3 and 4.
