************************************************************************
Windows 4.0 by Microsoft due in 1994 - Code named Chicago
Replaces Windows for Workgroups and supports 32-bit code. Will not
require DOS, but DOS 7.0 will be a spinoff of Windows 4.0. DOS 7.0
will also have 32-bit internals and multitasking. Cairo will be the
next major version of Windows NT in 1994, and will have a more
object-oriented GUI and a distributed object-oriented file system
which will make the network "transparent". Windows 4.0 will support
the full Win32 API from NT with pre-emptive multitasking, and have
a user interface similar to if not the same as that of Cairo.
Windows NT may ship as late as July 30, and in two versions,
NT Advanced Server with Remote Access and Macintosh gateway services,
and the desktop version. The server version also includes disk
mirroring, duplexing and RAID Level 5. Both versions will be bundled
with 32-bit versions of MS Mail, Schedule Plus, NetDDE and multi-boot
