I just love these OS2 vs MS discussions. I use OS2
because I've gone to the trouble to learn how to use it
.. not altogether straightfoward. I happen to think
that OS2 is more of a real operating system than Win9x
or NT (but not as real as, say, UnixWare), but I admit
to not spending equal time on MS products and somewhat
rely on hearsay. And I pay a price in compatibility
with the world's main stream, and so do you. I'm a DoD
consultant and they have standardize on Win95, but the
people I work with know me and make allowances.
But I do not use MS products. Even my DOS is PC-DOS.
The reason is that MS is a criminal Corporation in my
view, and it is simply not right to support them. Tens
of millions of hours of peoples' lives have been wasted
because of them and their enforced incompatibilities
over the years. Not to mention everything else evil
that they do.
But you can be my confessional. Forgive me for I have
sinned. I do use Win95 to play games. May God help me.
