I remember hearing about it
I waited for Win 3.11 (AKA Windows for Workgroups) and even ran WFWG for DOS (the companion) on my DOS machines to allow file and printer sharing.

from Wikipedia: Windows 2.1 was released in two different versions: Windows/286 and Windows/386. Windows/386 uses the virtual 8086 mode of Intel 80386 to multitask several DOS programs and the paged memory model to emulate expanded memory using available extended memory. Windows/286, in spite of its name, runs on both Intel 8086 and Intel 80286 processors. It runs in real mode but can make use of the high memory area.
