BTW. Early diagnostic software used to mislabel NT as OS/2 because of the kernel and you could even run OS/2 command line programs, anything that didn't depend on Presentation Manager API. NT at the time was aimed for business computers, as it far more stable than the 9x platform. But it can be said that internally all MS operating systems today are descended from OS/2 with only the API coming from the old versions of Windows.
yeah i know ibm (pukes for naming them ) and microsoft worked together building os/2, but then somthing went bad and they split, but os/2 warp isn't made by microsoft at all, all ibm ( i think ) so if i worked with microsoft i'd sue ibm, they cant make computers for shit, my school uses ibm machines, all they do is fail, all the fucking time
@BOS6940 Not exactly, the user interface was elements were shared between Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager, they are refereed to as part of the COM specifications. But OS/2 was more similar to Windows NT than Windows, the kernel of Windows NT is a variant of the OS/2 kernel, OS/2 was a joint venture between MS and IBM, MS then stabbed IBM in the back and ran off with the kernel and made Windows NT. OS/2 was to replace DOS, instead we got crap95 for DOS. The Mac itself stole from Xerox PARC
any hey i cinda like win95, it was my first ever OS, (i know that sounds a bit weird but i couldn't start lower cuz im 12 now, i got that laptop when i was about 5)
And i knew apple stole off someone, saying MS copies them, when in fact they copy MS and Xerox PARC, oh yeah wtf is Xerox PARC anyways? never heard or that / them
@BOS6940 Xerox PARC was a thinktank facility setup by Xerox (the ppl who made copiers), one of their influential projects was the Alto computer whose OS was built to utilize the Smalltalk programming language, which was a GUI based system, the foundation of all GUIs. As for Win95, the desktop design was revolutionary compared to Win 3.1, but it essentially was still a GUI sitting on MS-DOS, not a true OS in itself, that didn't change till NT technology went mainstream in XP.
OS2 was released in 1996.

@BOS6940 You do realize they collaborated on OS/2, right?
