  Well, I don't know what your setup is like, but I've been using 
OS/2 for a few weeks now and I haven't found a program yet that
it didn't run  (and I run a LOT of programs, almost all of which would
hardly be considered top sellers).  As for speed, as long as the DOS
programs are run full screen, the speed has been just as fast as native DOS
(some benchmarks report somewhat faster) something I never
got under Windows.
  BTW, you last sentence about all OS/2 programs being available
for DOS and/or Windows is simply wrong.  I can send you a list
if you like.  In the meantime, please to not spread misinformation.
