OS/2 is a very good OS for this tasks, but NT is better in many cases as
it has realtime support wich is critical for many data aquisition tasks.

As I use several OSes (including OS/2, Solaris, NT and FreeBSD) I have 
no need to compete with you at all. I think they all have thier pro

ones (like DOS, MacOS, Win3X, Win95, AmigaOS etc) who crashes to easily.
