Paul,
>> Warp is actually pretty terrific. But it's handicapped by (a) having to
include all kinds of Windoze compatability, and (b) having to work on SO many
different hardware configurations.
And it is very handicapped by its device driver design, which is 16-Bit only
and NOT preemptive multitasking. I am VERY disappointed. Well, I am in device
driver business, so this hurts me a lot! On this level Windows NT is just the
best I have ever seen. Even old Windows 3.1 is a real, 32-Bit preemptive
multitasking Kernel on this level, so playing with Warp which is advertised as
a 32-Bit OS was really a shock! Sigh.
