>help me recall this. Windows 386 and Windows 3.1 really only used the "virtual 8086" mode of the 386/486/Pentium. Correct? IBM's OS/2 beat Windows 95 to market and had a true 32 bit API, but I don't think it ever had nearly as many applications written for it as Linux does now.< Windows 2.0 was 286 mode only. Beginning with Windows 3.0, while the GUI itself was written to execute in 286 mode, 32-bit applications would run on 386/486/Pentium processors thunking down to 286 mode for Windows 3.x calls.
