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.

OS2 R.I.P. 1995
