OS2 was better than NT, as far as operation goes. It's only
drawback was that it was a single user system, and did not
keep file permissions. On the other hand, not keeping
file permissions made the filesystem, HPFS , High-Performance-
File-System really fly. It was just plain excellent.
Ironically, the guy who wrote HPFS, was the same guy
who wrote NTFS, Microsoft was under contract to IBM at the
time.
The current version of OS2, is called Merlin, it is the next
version after Warp.
Most people dropped OS2 after they announced their would be no
versions after Merlin.
