Pardon me, but NT isn't real yet?  If it is half as buggy as Windows 3.0 I'd
stay away from it until the second revision.  Microsoft seems to rush their
products to market before testing them well.  Windows 3.0 was the buggiest
OS I've ever used. I helped many people who couldn't even get it to load
without crashing - and with no error messages at all.
 
    For those who have lots of DOS or windows software a 
switch to OS/2 2.0 will free you from the DOS memory crunch.
OS/2 2.1 will be out in (about) March. OS/2 2.1 beta copies
are available now to the general public for $15!  If you want to
know more on this read the OS/2 newsgroups.  

     I just made the switch to OS/2 2.0.  As a frequent user of Unix 
I find OS/2 2.0 to be a breath of fresh air.  I'd rather have
Unix but it won't run Dos or Windows applications and I can't afford
to buy a lot of new software.

     The biggest problem with OS/2 2.0 is that it takes a 
lot of resources to run it.  Reports on OS2 2.1 indicate that it 
is better in this regard.  Again, if you want to know more about 
this, read the OS/2 newsgroups.  It is probably best not to start 
too many OS/2 threads in this group.
