The downside to OS/2 is that it will not currently handle any Win 95
products.  IE anything requiring WIN32S past version 1.25

The current version of OS/2 is OS/2 Warp 4.0, the current fixpack is 4 I
believe.

Prior to Warp 4 OS/2 came in two seperate versions... One with Win 3.1
kernel (red spine on the package) one without (blue spine on the
package).  Pre OS/2 Warp 4 did not come with network capabilities... You
had to purchase a seperate product called OS/2 connect.

Os/2 is a great OS, as long as you do not need access to the latest and
greatest software for win X...
