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.

Did the 32-bit apps run in their own protected address space and were they pre-emptively task switched?
