Tony– Got to disagree. Seeing that IBM had almost no success with OS/2 (although that may change with 2.0…) due to resistance from DOS users (as well as other major factors) does not bode well. Add this into the mix: many people have tried the pre-eminent GUI on the PC – Windows3.0 – and gotten very bad results. We use Windows, and our machines are slow as syrup. After this, am I anxious to try OS/2 2.0 ? no… Am I anxious to try MacPC DOS 1.0? Much less so… I think Microsoft has the best bet here; we've seen Windows at its worst. I hope that future upgrades will give us a performance boost as the code gets tighter. If it gets any slower, I am going to give the typesetters I work with their dedicated Varityper equipment back… Jonathan – via Whap!
