Microsoft Windows 3.0
Article Abstract:
Microsoft's Windows 3.0 allows for multitasking through its graphical user interface structure. The program's key features are quick multiple-program access, a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get display, a windowing function that allows for the simultaneous operation and viewing of several programs, virtual memory, SMARTDrive cache utility, and ability to bridge data between different progams. However, the program does have some disadvantages, including the tendency to create a restrictive environment for more advanced DOS users and the slowness of the program resulting from its integration of virtual memory and multitasking functions. Despite these limitations, Windows 3.0 is regarded as an extremely useful program as attested by its many users.
