I am running both Windows/286 and Windows/386 on top of DOS 4.01 (DOS 4.00
with the patches applied).  I have encountered only one problem not shared
with earlier versions of DOS:  under Windows/386, if I start a non-windows
application that doesn't have a PIF file, Windows sets the default directory
ot drive A.  All I need to do is have a disk in drive A (the program doesn't
need to reside there).  Microsoft is aware of the problem, and supposedly
working on a fix.
