I bought it when it first came out, loaded it briefly, and then pulled
it off.  I do, however, use the QEMM that came with it, which works
very well.

I found DV/X (on my machine) to be both slow and unstable.  I was also
rather disappointed that in order to get it so that it could talk to a
UNIX box running X, I would have had to spend hundreds more dollars.

OS/2 is definitely the better choice.  I have also messed with it and
found it to be much more reliable and stable.  It, too, is somewhat
slow, but this is expected to improve in the October/November time
frame when the update package for it is released (32-bit graphics
engine, Windows 3.1 compatibility, various performance enhancements).
Were it me, I would go with OS/2.
