Hey, it's not ME who's putzing around here -- I've always wanted
to run Windoze on a 286 with 2 Megs..!
Since your above surmising has not come to pass (nor will it
apparently ever), I put it to you that MicroShaft is _indeed_ following
this strategy. Not only that, but since the more powerful Windows NT
needs even MORE memory, the case is easily made that MicroSloth is trying
to pull users such as yourself in that very direction with an intermediary
product: Windoze 95. (`Cairo' is on the horizon...)

MicroShill shows every indication of letting WIN3.1/3.11 users
stew in their juices till they finally give-up and shell-out for the
WIN95 upgrade... If that means a hardware upgrade -- well, so be it...

Potential, but not actual in _this_ dimensional universe..! :>
