Hi, Doug! >> Yes, I'm serious. I'd be more than happy to demonstrate this in front of a group of NT fans. Let's >> run NT vs. OS/2 on identical hardware. You'd be quite surprised. 1. I do believe you. 2. I admit, I didn't have too much experience with OS/2, but it's not my fault: system didn't recognize my hardware and didn't allow me to do any corrections (I am talking about plain vanilla Pentium-PCI with the modem and SB), and it continue to crush every 2 minutes or so (in their Native apps) – even WindowsFW 3.11 run on that system 5-6 days with no reboot, (as for NT: 2 Borland C++ instances run concurently and even on linkage stage there is no degradation!). 3. I admit, if 3DS move to OS/2 – I would move too (I would just buy one more Windows PC with the modem to maintain my CompuServe connection…) and would be no less happy. 4. As for capability to launch an application when system display hourglass: even Windows 3.1 are capable of that. Sorry. Regards, Alex, Video International
