For a minute there, Porkop, I was thinking that you had "downgraded" to . It was everything that windoze should have been, back then.

I have to say, I'm quite pleased about
I used to sell PCs with OS2 on them, I was hoping that it would gain some traction, but it did not have enough support to gain any traction against M$. Linux has filled the spot.

I used OS/2 on a home PC up to the Warp editions more or less just to keep abreast of the alternatives. It had some good points (running a full 32 bit multitasking OS on top of a real mode BIOS disk interface for that weird and wonderful hardware you had was pretty nifty whereas NT simply wouldn't work at all without a native 32 bit driver) but those few good points were IMO far far outweighed by the quirks and general unpolished nature of it.
A modern 32 bit multitasking OS with only a single input-event queue where a single misbehaved program could stall the UI (screen, keyboard, mouse) for all other programs? No thanks. Even the eventual workaround, detecting that a program hadn't read the queue for X seconds and moving the 'next item' pointer for all programs bar that one past that program's events, was a terrible cludge that itself was flawed as the queue could actually fill up with events for the stalled program, and that was that. Unresponsive system - programs continued to run, you just couldn't do anything with them).
