I know because I have tried os/2 warf 3.0. Ah.. You've never seen ONE misbehaving program lock up windows (or more importantly, DOS, I guess), huh? :) I'm starting to think back to the old days, trying to remember how many times a day I used to see "Application has Violated System Integrity -- Shut down all windows and reboot your machine" (That may not be word for word, but I used to have it memorized, and no, not on purpose-- this was before I even heard of OS/2). I haven't seen that message in a few months now, but then I haven't run plain windows in a few months (finally got the guts to delete it two days ago).. There are really no native windows apps, and I'm learning how to program OS/2 apps on my own now (It's *Really* easy).. Any programs that I really needed windows for, were included with warp -- namely-:A Word Processor, and a PIM (Face it, what else is windows good at? -- Games - haha, compare any windows game to say -- roids or galciv -- Multitasking - Stop it -- You know windows doesn't do that).. <sigh> It's hopeless.. -- Rob Wilkens OS/2 Does.. MS-DOSn't..
