Yes, it really happened! Right, now this just about blew me away: Anyone heard of Desqview and Desqview/X? Meet X-Windows for DOS. There's similar programs out there, but were they made by Quarterdeck? 😀

SlashDot's article where I heard about the above link in February.

And use Google: there's lots of stuff about it online...

Well, with Desqview/X installed, you'd be able to run Windows 3.11 in a window. 😀

No, I meant on your 486. You could run Windows in a window, within Desqview/X, which runs on top of DOS. Although the question begs, "why would you want to?" 😀
