@drnone88 That was the great failing of IBM. In every one of MS ads for Win95 they showed the OS being used by people using real applications. But IBM....OS/2 was (is) a great OS..in fact Win95/98/2000, XP, Win7 owe everything to OS/2....even the Mac crowds. Yes the Mac crowd. A LOT was stolen from OS/2 and adopted into these OSes YEARS after OS/2 was taken off the market. IBM just didn't know how to sell it to people... Enterprises yes!, but not people...users..consumers.
In 1994 people had never seen a video running side-by-side with a browser. That's why they gave those comments. Windows certainly couldn't do it back then.
do you have a link to the one with the surfers? that by far and away was the best one. Squids....

@os2memories
LMAO, that is so true, Windows 3.x could barely run a web browser by itself without it crashing.

I still use Warp 4.5 on many occasions instead of XP, it's less bloated and has great 9x/DOS compatibility.
What you'd expect from the big brother of NT.
