On a side note, wasn't there some stuff a while back about Win 3.x or 95 having been written such that it would perform badly[sic] if run over the top of anything other (eg. DR DOS) than MS-DOS. I seem to remember MS being sequested to supply evidence of this but having claimed to have 'lost' the source code. Was this true?

What I heard was that MS *claimed* to have lost the source. i.e. to evade the fact that there was some 'anti Dr. DOS' code in Windows.
Not sure if there is any validity in this though... (i.e. it could all be a bunch of arse). Be interested in finding out though...
