- I am not sure this is a valid argument. After all, OS/2 2.0 was
- released before Windows 3.1 (even though only a few days). Windows
- 3.1 is optimized for graphics performance in ways that Winos2 has not
- yet been.
-
- Comparing Winos2 to Windows 3.0 is fair. Comparing Winos2 with
- Windows 3.1 support to Windows 3.1 will be fair, when that is
- released.
-
- Until then, we are kind of comparing apples to oranges.

- Yes, they are comming, but slowly. At least one video board now has
- 800x600 seamless from the manufacturer, and others will be included in
- the CSD release. I am looking forward to the 8514a seamless support.
