Bullshit.  OS/2 sucks for games, period.  I have tried Warp, and DOS 
games do not want to run.  So OK, OS/2 HAS been doing it, buy nowhere 
near as well as Windows 95.  Using your "warped" logic, windows 3.1 has 
also been doing the same thing.  

OS/2 does not allow you to actually sit down and write a seprate 
Config.sys and autoexec.bat for each DOS program.  Instead it offers nice 
little features like XGA_TRAP and the like.  Thanks, but no thanks.

OS/2 is dead, I have seen the future.  It is Win95 (yes, I am using it 
right now).  Its even about 5 times faster than OS/2 as well.
