It almost hurts to know that OS2 is dead. It was such a great OS yet no big IVS gave it a chance. Hell, if MSFFICE 95/OS2 exited I would run the OS in a second. But not that the future of 3D games is clearly with WIn95 due to 3D-DDI OS2 users are out of luck for such gamesa as Falcon4.0, WC5, on and on. It is a sad day when technology fails because of consumer/IVS attitudes.
