   In a message on Wednesday 01-05-16 Kurt Weiske said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good morning Kurt,   
      
    HG> I wouldn't even dream of running a BBS under ANY Windows.   
      
   KW> I've run my BBS under DOS, OS/2, and Windows. IMO, windows wasn't a   
   KW> real contender until Windows 2000 came around and hardware caught up   
      
   I did run my BBS first under DOS, then DOS/DesqView and finally OS/2.   
   With later versions of PCBoard came also instructions, and sample PIF   
   files for running the board under Windows, but with my experience of   
   the reliability of Windows, didn't make me consider that.   
      
   KW> I ran 2 nodes on a 486/66 with 16 megs of RAM in OS/2, but 2 nodes   
   KW> in Windows on a P233MMX with 64 megs ran about the same.   
      
   The multitasking under OS/2 was so much faster, that I never again   
   considered the return to DOS/DV.   
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
