IIRC, IBM licenced Amiga technology from Commodore for use in OS/2.


Any idea what it was?

Hehe Franko never got hidden I guess.

 
Franko is on my ignore list, the only person in over 11 years to get that accolade.  Only ever see his drivel when someone quotes it :)

But what they don't have is this nice and wonderful Amiga OS :D


In some ways OS/2 Warp is superior to MoS and AOS4. And well AROS is free so you get your moneys worth lol

OS/2 is not that far off WB/KS 3.0 really. The multitasking is far superior to even Windows XP (try having 99% CPU load on your Windows machine AND actually trying to do some work as is normal for multitasking OS....haha never mind at least you tried. Have a nice cup of tea and wait for it to go down to 25% CPU load)

That's more of a process priority issue than anything else.
My Win XP x64 box runs at 100% constantly, and I haven't had any problems with the system being non-responsive, as long as the GUI/Basic system has a higher priority than boinc.

I never seen a PC windows running a good responsive GUI, not in my house, not in university, not on any pc shop, not on any Friend PC.....Maybe your definition of responsiveness is not the same as mine and  you settle for little
