-> 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.
