>> For some reason OS/2 is the one system that no one has ever said anything really bad about. Of course, that was after IBM cleaned up the mess MSFT left them and re-released it. << I was a big fan of OS/2 2.0 and even beta tested the product. I used it for nearly a year as my primary OS. I thought it was cool because it was the first real multitasking, protected mode OS for PC's. But let me tell you, it had lots of problems. Possibly the Worse installation program of any OS I have ever seen (that is until I installed x86 Solaris on a Laptop a few weeks ago) and horible driver problems. Ultimately I had a Video Driver install go wrong and it was unrecoverable. I nuked the OS in disgust and have never gone back.
