Very funny; NOT!

 have multi-threaded APPS for it, even NOW.  And NT is the "flagship" robust OS from MSFT.

Sure it can run several, multithreaded applications at the same time.

And what kind of work are you doing?  So, just how many business, 
scientific, etc applications are written specifically for OS2.  Odds are 
you are working on OS2 with windows applications; which in the future, 
wil be written to take advantage of Windows '95

Oh, and sure I will be playing...  Windows '95 will be a great gaming 
platform <insert flame here> as all of the major game developers are 
writing for it.  

Sure OS2 will have great games too; GC being my case in point.  I 
believe, however, that the majority of the really cool games will be 
unavailable for the poor souls in the, "I love OS2 and I don't care even 
if Microsoft is cruching us," camp.
