1. OS/2, NT and UNIX is not CMT, they are fully PMT OSes.

2. I admit that OS/2 has crashed for me, but it's very uncommon to happen
   in contrast to MacOS or Win3.

3. I have only once crashed Solaris 2.4, never more.

4. NT has never crashed for me, and I have runned it daily for almost
   two years now.

5. I haven't runned FreeBSD 2.1 for very long, but so far it has never gone
   down.

It's true that it's PMT, but I still don't think the multitasking is as stable
as in OS/2, NT, Solaris and FreeBSD.

But I agree that it's miles better than macos and win3, even if I prefer better
alternatives.

It's a machine who frequently crashes and destorys my work. Highly unproductive!

For me, other machines/OSes gives me a much more productive environment.
