Another example of a clueless OS/2 user. Win95 can run more than 8
programs. I am running at least 12 programs on my P90 with 24 MEGs of
RAM using Win95. There is still a 64K USER HEAP, but most things have been
moved to 32-bit HEAPS. The problems arise with threads and separate
message queues which Microsoft is trying to fix before the release. The
culprit was Microsoft Exchange.

You really should use something before you speak about it. I've used
OS/2 before and I was impressed by it on purely technical merits, but
that doesn't mean I'm going to run it for my client machines or recommend
it for home users.

For people who want to run OS/2 I'm pushing Windows NT or Unix/Linux. 
Better choices for Mission Critical Computing.
