I'll second that. I saw Windows/NT in alpha release a couple of days ago. No
DOS or OS/2 compatibility......but it could do 10 bezier curves. Very
useful.

Windows will multi-task fairly well as long as you don't mind re-booting the
machine every now and again and you don't expect too much of it. OS/2 is much
better and will handle many programs running simultaneously much more smoothly
than Windows. I've used it daily for 4 months after a year of Windows and I am
satisfied that OS/2 is the better system by a reasonably wide margin.
 
The OS/2 Windows has  OLE and parameter checking - the two main features of
Win3.1.
 
But recommending NT to anyone is like contracting the tooth fairy to write a
program for you. 
 
And UNIX! I want to get some work done, not spend the next year trying to
figure out how to get some work done.
