OS/2 Warp introduction on Computer Chronicles (1995)

[tkoizumi]

sometimes it makes me wonder how computer users and owners were sophisticated middle aged men and now it turned the users are 13yo trolls.....

The launch pad is impressive. Windows 7 finally has it now.

I remember seeing a demo back when Warp was new of 2 instances of DOOM (I think) for DOS running concurrently and interlinked for network play on the same computer, which was rather neat for its time.

Cool sounds.

[REPOMAN24722]

Works better than vistas voice recognition lol

[fairyheli2]

i love the sounds!

[fairyheli2]

can you turn the sounds off?

[jasonithompson]

That PR Woman starting at 4:20,she is sooo slow.The sounds seem they come from a video game:( I had OS/2 and it was good, it's PR screwed it up.

[MouseFX]

the stupid sounds ruined it

Its 1995 and IBM's voice recognition demo is pretty good... fast forward twelve years to 2007 and Windows Vista finally gets voice recognition (remember they said it would be in Windows 98 ?)... and the public demo is a massive fail. I genuinely hope one day the public gets a clue about Microsoft and stops using their products.

@Lam1ngton

Me too.

"... one of the secretaries had problems with double-clicking so the OS/2 launchpad was an advantage..."

i'd love to see os/2 warp run on a...acer 5630 with 3GB of RAM...2.20 GHZ 800mhz buss speed...how fast will it boot?...i hope it can detect a ATI 2400 PRo video card

[harvest82]

cool

[frippzen]

Are those annoying sounds actually coming from OS/2 Warp?

[jasonscottpage]

Perhaps not.

[aufsturz]

but they are...

[RABBIDGamfan]

@jasonscottpage That was actually the default sound set loaded with OS/2 Warp 3, so yes, those sounds are coming out of OS/2 Warp.
