I've had OS/2 running games better than what Windows 95 can do.  The main 
reason is that OS/2 is better at multitasking.  Don't get me wrong, Windows 95 
is good at it and a hell of a lot better than Windows 3.11 and WFW 3.11.

I haven't had any critical errors installing OS/2 (I've installed it on over a 
dozen machines for various reasons).  I've actually had a harder time 
installing Windows 95 on some machines...
