- When you run a virtual 86 machine, you are only running an 8086 (8088). Programs
- such as Windows 3.0 in real mode would run under such a mode, but Windows 3.1
- (or Windows 3.0 in standard or enhanced mode) would not. Even programs such as
- DESQview and DESQview/X will only run Windows in Standard mode (unless I'm really,
- really wrong). They will not run Windows in it's full-blown 386 mode.
