I can't comment about NT firsthand so I won't. I did look at what to
put on my desktop right now and I went with OS/2 instead of Win 3.1.
Three key reasons:
The os2 desktop is more elegant the the Win file manager. As far as I
know Windows lovers don't even like the file manager.
OS2 is a real multitasker.
OS2 has Rexx. Not an issue for most people but thanks to Bill
Hawes…
In short OS2 finally means my PC OS has all the things I like about
the Amiga OS. Anyway, Windows 3.1 apps do great under OS2. Only
Windows Fax software, which bangs the port hardware, strains the
emulation (but it does work). Otherwise I know of no serious
incompatibilities.
I'll make one comment about NT. Interestingly, NT has Win 3.1
incompatibilities. It was retrofitted to acommodate Windows after
Windows became a surprise success. — Art
