   -> a Windows crash happens so often   
      
   I've stress tested Windows 3.1 with two nodes of PCBoard, up and down   
   loading full throttle at the same time, and running a third DOS window   
   compiling the PCBoard source. No crashes. No dropped characters.   
      
      
   -> The OS/2 installation is very straightforward and easy   
      
   OS/2 networking is a mess. MPTS, TCP/IP, and Peer, get tangled up and   
   throw errors at you, when you try to make changes after installation. I   
   see that time and again.   
      
   On my test box, OS/2 installation takes 10-15 minutes, without fixpaks.   
   But we know Warp4 is buggy without them, so we take more time.   
      
   OTOH, Windows 3.1 takes about 2 minutes. That's easy.
