Well, I don't know if I should stick my two cents in, but I do use OS/2 here (Warp 4).
(Actually lately I've been using Linux more as for now it is on the same machine). But
at any rate, from what I've seen of NT and my personal experience with OS/2, the only
thing that NT would have over os/2 is availability of applications). OS/2 is a lot
easier to use and set up, though Microsoft has done a little bit better as far as
security goes (I think they took a lesson from Novel/Unix?).
