>> Unfortunately, I think it will choke to death in the dust of 95 and NT. I'm no Gates & Co. ally, just a realist. I, as well. I would like to see the field open to more than MS, but MS has the power, money and support. Only if OS/2 were fully functional and tweeked presently could it hope to compete. I believe it's the better conceived OS, but it's past success was primarily due to lack of true multitasking and people's disgust with DOS. Now that DOS is soon to be a thing of the past, OS/2 will have to pull a big rabbit out of its hat to prosper. I wonder just how well 95 will handle ALL DOS programs, with all their unqiue drivers, etc, or is there a GOOD reason to keep our old DOS partitions around for a while? NT itself won't run a slew of stuff that will runn under DOS. I wonder about 95's handling of things like Razor, DOOM, other protected mode games, and many others.
