I'm running MS-OS/2 1.2. I really like what they've done with the look and feel. Task Manager has become "Task List" and is a popup dialog box. (Not a standard window any more.) Start Programs has become "Desktop Manager" and has movable icons. The buttons have changed. They are 3D. I haven't installed HPFS yet but I understand that you want to think twice about installing it on a primary partitions. Other OS's may have problems booting. Otherwise, it's a speed improvement and lets you name files Unix-like (but still case insensitive). My harp on it is that dual monitor support is broke. No more MODE MONO or CVP /2. Bad news for PM programmers like myself. -Kasey
