Yes, but how is that different from DOS 7 with a DPMI server installed?
It's better because a crash won't down the whole system :-)
Win 3.1 works fine on Win9x as long as you don't try any [386Enh] HD
controller-type swapfile direct access tricks (geez, I can't believe I
still remember the lingo. Ick.) And you do need one -- don't be
tempted to run without one because you will eventually run into problems
no matter how much memory you have. (This holds for all versions of
Windows, unfortunately. I have 1G RAM on my XP machine and if I try to
disable the swapfile entirely I get programs that hang -- stoopid OS!)
