- I use MS Windows apps under full-screen WINOS2 all the time. On my machine,
- it is noticeably faster than Windows 3.0, but slower than MS-Windows 3.1.
- Bue of course I switched from Win 3 to OS/2 2 before ever getting Win 3.1,
- so I was happy from day one.
-
- Since I can't give up the performance of OS/2, I will just have to wait for
- Win 3.1 support in WINOS/2 to get out of beta.
