And OS/2 is very much 'perfect' in your opinion?  I think not.

Yeah whatever... OS/2 is going nowhere and that's the truth.  They can
twitch until Win95 comes out on the market... but eventually Win95 will
crush it to the bottom.  If you don't like Microsoft for what it is, that's
your problem... that's almost being like a... racist.  :)

Badly coded?  OS/2 isn't much better.  Why?  Get this... I used to have
Amiga 3000 running on MC68030.  When I got my Pentium 90 running OS/2 2.1,
it was actually SLOWER on switching tasks (etc.) than my old Amiga!  (that's
with 24MB RAM!)  As for Windows95, it just flies...  go figure.

Windows95 is already highly optimized for x86 processors.  On the other
hand, OS/2 can do much better.
