"Many" if you lay it on the Windows 95 app scale, maybe.
Which may those be? Don't bother nameing a few (like AmiPro or WP 5.2) because
"many" of the thousands of app for OS/2 should at least be hundreds.
What would you know about how they are, anyway, if you don't run any?
The apps I run are way better than what I've ever run on Windows.
Please stay in your iglo if you have nothing worthwhile to say next time.
