Windows 3.1 introduced several new technologies onto the Windows 3.0 platform. The most notable was True type fonts, and OLE. The 'real mode' was removed, as Windows 3.1 now executed in protected mode only.
Windows 3.1 is more of an 'enviroment' then an operating system, as it still uses MS-DOS for some functions, and the 386 enchanced mode spawns VDM's with MS-DOS.
