I will admit that I preferred DOS to windows 3.1 - but that was back in like 1992.

Better than windows, I won't go that far, but....

I can't count the number of time a day that I dump out to a cmd prompt (dos prompt) to get something done that still is a pain in the butt in windows. Even Windows Vista still has the dos prompt.

I think my main problem with Windows 3.1 is that the average machine couldn't handle it, and it was unbelievably slow - DOS was much faster. By 1999 I was definitely over it, though.

L-dub is right though - I still dump out to DOS all the time to do basic tasks like "ping" some machine that windows is having a hard time connecting to...

I remember Windows 3.1 running on a Compaq 486 my parents bought us, it wasn't nearly as functional or as fast as the older 386 we had which ran DOS and had nothing but DOS based Apps on it.....
