I'm sorry, you're not being realistic. If you say OS/2 is superior in
multitasking, I agree. If you say superior in stability, I agree in certain
cases. But windows 95 is superior in ease of use, ease of installation
plug and play, networking and support by software venders. Also it is most
compatible and has the most hardware support.
All in all OS/2 might be the better product for you, but it is certainly
not superior.
