Came here exactly to say "Wasn't Desqview quite well known?" I never even used it myself (except indirectly as a bbs user) yet even I a non-user knew about it.

Maybe it doesn't fall into the same category and works more like an actual os with a kernel? Like I said, never used it so idk.

PC Magazine (and others I'm sure) used to regularly do "showdowns" with DOS multitasking environments and upcoming GUIs.

There was a time when none of this stuff was settled and a lot of folks threw their hat into the ring.

I used to love the writeups as a bbs operator, lol!
