[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Windows/386

I  recently acquired a '386 clone and have been contemplating the purchase
of Windows/386.  As a dedicated Unix hacker,  I  haven't  kept  up-to-date
with  the  latest  in  the  MS/DOS  world.   Somewhere I recall reading an
article that indicated that Microsoft had a new release of Windows/386  in
the  works  that  supposedly  addressed some deficiencies in the original,
added wonderful new features, etc.

Anyone out there who is familiar with Windows know anything about this?

Any info on possible release dates, expected new features, corrected bugs,
etc.  would be greatly appreciated.

Also, any Windows users who might have any comments on the product in
general ... pros and cons ... useful or nasty features ... I'm trying to
become an 'educated consumer'.

Email if possible as I don't get around to this group that often.

Thanx in advance

This information would be useful to me and probably many other PC users, so
it would be nice to post replies to the net as well.

thanks
