I think you have missunderstood what I said (or I missunderstood you). I
think OS/2 is a very good OS (ok I've only tried Warp but it was very
good). If I could choose it would be the only OS except DOS that I ran,
sadly however I don't have it installed right now (HD space and not enough
time to even beging configuring) and need Windows95 (for Star Wars games)
and Linux (for school work if I ever start doing them at home <g>).

One of the latest books in the university library is regarding Microsofts
new OS - OS/2 ;-) I wonder who screwed up...
But I don't agree with you, NT is very much like OS/2 and Microsoft are
tying to make people switch from OS/2 to NT (as they now are doing to get
people away from DOS). For instance I don't know about 2000 but in 4 you
could still get a HPFS (OS/2s filesystem) addon so you could read/write
HPFS partitions.
