Subject: Something new for Chinese Windows?

My friend just called the Chinese Windows vendor in MD and got this info.
--------

I called Info Integration in Maryland.  Chinese Windows 3.0A costs $149
plus tax and shipping.

        It has about 13,000 characters--fanti zi; in 3 months they'll have
a kit for jianti zi.
        Input is by bopomofo (Taiwan zhuyin) using a mouse or by bushou
(radical), but in 3 months they'll have a kit for pinyin input.
        You need English windows to run it and the English has to be installed
first and they have to run in two separate directories.
        You need 2 MG RAM minimum and 8 MG Hard Drive to run both the English
and Chinese windows.
--------

I thought Chinese Windows has PinYin input feature already and does not
need the regular Windows to run.  Am I wrong?

Which version the the windows 3.0A is this?  A microsoft one or tsu-ts'e-hui
one?  If it is a tsu-ts'e-hui one, perhaps it is not very useful.  As far as
I know, tsu-ts'e-hui's version of windows does not even run words for windows.
