There is one important point that seems to have been ignored in this
argument about OS/2 and Windows 95. OS/2 exists *NOW* while Windows 95
is still a (relatively buggy) beta.

Both have against them the past track records of the companies making
them. I mean, how can you trust a product coming from the company
which gave us DOS and Windows? Let's face it they suck! Why anyone
should want an operating system that resembles them is beyond me!

Personally, updating to either at the moment is completely
uninteresting. I use DOS to play games on, my wife uses Windows for
word processing and my kids Windows for some games. For *real work* I
use a *real operating system*, Linux.
