YES! The Win3.1 program manager is not as good as the OS/2 WorkPlace Shell.
Period.

MAC users will love that! I don't know a single MAC user who would give up
their GUI for the Win3.x program manager.......

If NT had the WPS, I might think about it - all other things being equal (
don't have the dough for a 64-bit computer....not yet, anyway).

Though, if they were eaula, I'd stay with OS/2. I mean, my PC only has one
CPU.
