I recently heard a rumor that there will be a new and improved release of
Windows 386 in the Spring. Among other fixes, there is suppose to be better
isolation between windows, so that if a program bombs in one window, pro-
grams in other windows won't be dragged down. This is a problem that I have
heard exists in the present release. 

Has anyone else heard about a new release? If I buy the program now, will I
get a free (or low-cost) upgrade from MS? Perhaps I should wait for the
new version, if it indeed is in the works.
