It is exactly what I am discussing.  To be quite honest, OS/2 in and of itself
is, to most people, nothing more than a system that can run lots of applica-
tions at once.  (This is an opinion only.)  Many people are completely un-
aware of the powers of robust multitasking because they are so used to the
DOS/Windows paradigm of simple task-switching.

But with OS/2, IBM has a chance to make people a little bit more aware of
what multitasking gives you.  They have an entire suite of products that
can and do take advantage of the robust multitasking capabilities of OS/2.
They should promote them more.
