The plain truth is that, for every person that has trouble getting OS/2 
to work, there is one that has trouble getting Windows to work.  No 
operating system is perfect.  Every operating system has trouble.  
Unfortunatly, ones first experience with an operating system can affect 
their judgement from here on out.

My first experience with OS/2 (version 2.1) was a disaster.  Windows 
programs took forever to load.  C/Set++ was a nightmare to use.  Every 
add on I tried to install screwed up my previous installations.  Etc.  I 
seriously doubt everyone has had the same problems I have with OS/2, but 
I personally did.  Windows NT and Windows 95, on the other hand, have 
installed almost flawelessly for me over the past couple of years and 
I've been very pleased with both.
