Um, given that OSR2 is supported only when installed on a new system,
and not as an upgrade, I don't quite understand the wailing and gnashing of
teeth about this. Who knows what the situation will be when the
generally available "Windows 97" (or whatever it's called) arrives? There's
also non-MS solutions such as Boot Commander, which as far as I know, should
work just fine. I agree that MS doesn't really have an incentive to go out
of its way to maintain dual-boot compatibility with Windows 3.1, but I
don't view this as evidence of evil incarnate.
