 Hahahahahahahahahaha ... now here is the beST laugh I have had all day.
 Windows 3.01 or the new NT would win that race not os/2 .

 Chris you are in for a BIG suprise if you really mean this! Take it from
 me. I run OS/2 , Windows and BCD Unix (and the ST) here and OS/2 is the
 DOG of the lot. Get Windows NT it is 1000 time better (when it is
 released).
 
 Mind you it has taken years for the clone (other pc based OS's) markets
 to even catch up with the ST (read all versions) market.
 
 Look at Flash for instance.  It was not until ProComm for Windows was
 released was there anything like Flash and look how long this has been
 around!
