Peter,
I have been using OS/2 since around 1993, the best version being OS/2
Warp Connect, a fully capable network OS. I still run OS/2 in its
latest incarnation, eCS, which is really OS/2 4.52 with all fixpacks.
I have had very few problems with OS/2, it runs a copy of windows 3.1
within the OS. Yes, we would have been better to have had OS/2 on the
desktop than windows! Hundreds of banks/insurance companies and some
major retail outlets still run OS/2, my bank Wamu/Chase used to run a
customized version of OS/2 on all ATMs, very safe. Then, Diebold went
with windows and now I feel the ATMs are not as safe.
