OS/2 SUCKS! plain and simple. hmm... that's funny 9 out of 10 techs I know (me included) use OS/2. Those who don't use Linux. : how well does OS/2 handle multimdeia huh? great! Considering the fact that I have run CD Player and two video files at the sime time (486DX2/66) : how about sound cards, joysticks, etc? OS/2 supports all major sound boards. what did you expect? : What, you didn't mention the LONG, TEDIOUS, configuration info you need : to setup for every DOS program you run? none. OS/2 runs 95% of all applications out of box. if you want to improve the speed of a particular app, fiddle with the configuration. That simple. Much like tweaking the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. : Too bad, Win95 does it AUTOMATICALLY. And OS/2 doesn't? Gee, what's that little Migrate Applications icon sitting in my System Setup folder. Let's go click on it... Migrate DOS, Windows and OS/2 programs? Sure. What? You found Doom, Civilization, and Word 6.0? That's nice... : What can run DOS programs better than DOS 7.0 (win95)???? are you saying that Windows 95 is running under DOS? That's not good. 'Coz Windows is supposed to be 32-bit and now it can't do that under DOS, right? oh, wait, they re-wrote DOS to be 32-bit? well, then it isn't DOS anymore is it? : 'Nuff said Yes, you cetainly have said enough. Sorry I had to rip you up like that, but somebody's got to tell you. To all you Windows 95 advocates: this is almost a carbon copy of the post i will be writing to you if you start lieing again... <g> Vendetta
