- I've checked the Desqview/X review in the last UNIXWORLD, but it turned
- out to be just another advertisement (UNIXWORLD is beginning to look
- like Popular Photography) with statements like "we assumed it would
- work, so we didn't test it" and others like that. Last issue of SCO
- Magazine has the review of four different X windowing systems for DOS.
- It is quite educational to put those two reviews side by side and see
- how a review is written and how an advertisement is written...
