No, he means _real_ operating systems, like OS/2.  You know, that
multi-tasking, multi-threading OS from IBM?  The one that does better
DOS than DOS?

The ST has some good software, but the clones have TONNES of good
software, and some GREAT software.  Where is CorelDRAW! or MicroGrafix
Designer for the ST?  Well, I could use Avaunt-Vektor, which costs about
3x-4x what they cost, and that's about it... so much for choosing the
best one, right?  Good word processor that doesn't take over the whole
screen when it runs?  Hmm, can't think of one...  Hope all the word
processor users on the ST don't want to use MultiTOS.

Unless somebody can convince me otherwise, I think I'm going to buy a
'486 and run OS/2.  It's almost like unix, but with real applications...
