Had it on my system for 4 months.

Doom needed a patch, Quicken needed a patch. It seemed that every second 
program I put on needed a patch. OS2 does not run Windows programs better 
than windows. It is also very slow, especially at booting up. I would love 
for some competition to exist against an arrogant Microsoft but OS2 just 
doesn't measure up. Without native apps an operating system is nothing.
