 You can run non-Windows applications in a window if they can be set up
 to do BIOS writes rather than direct screen writes. Can Desqview really
 window stuff that bypasses the BIOS? I can't think of any any handy
 way to intercept the writes to the display memory on a non-386 based
 machine. Of course I'm not a hacker when it comes to my PC.

 I do agree that if your primary goal is to multi-task non-Windows
 applications, then Desqview is probably a better choice.
