I ran a 386sx25 with OS/2 (2.1 then Warp 3.0) and it was great, didnt start using windows until WinNT 4.0 was released.

OS/2 had stuff that Winblows still doesnt such as a fully object oriented OS - you could use both floppies at the same time and I can remember having Lotus Smartsuite for OS/2 installing from one drive and MS Office for Windows installing on the other drive at the same time while surfing a BBS!

I did like OS/2, but they were behind the curve
OS/2 Warp was awesome tho...  A great OS..  ;-)
And released a year before Win95.  Too bad they couldn't have marketed it better.

Agreed, OS/2 Warp was amazing and win95 sucked balls but by that time microsoft had a death grip on the OEM's and they wouldn't ship pc's without an MS OS.

There are also people that say that the Windows 3.1 application compatibility helped kill it.  Developers saw no reason to write a native OS/2 version of their app if it would run (mostly) already.

Yeah that prolly didnt help either.
