I know for a fact that OS/2 on a 486/66 with 8 meg of ram swaps like hell.  
I've waited for over 20 seconds for it to minimize a window.  Win95 on the 
same system doesn't swap significantly, runs faster then OS/2, and is much 
more friendly.  OS/2 also takes significant setup to run dos games in a 
window.  Run Magic Carpet in a Win95 dos window without setting stuff up:  
been there, done that.  Run Magic Carpet in a OS/2 window without setting 
stuff up:  I don't think so.
